My husband has lung cancer. He’s on a targeted drug so has a chance of living for a few years. He’s also had chemotherapy which made him very sick. It’s almost a month since he had the chemotherapy. He says he is exhausted and sits in a chair all day with his head hung. It makes me very depressed. I am trying to look after him but also feel I want to get out of the house and do things but so many things have to be cancelled because of his appointments or because he is unwell. I read about people fighting cancer but there is no fight in my husband. I feel such a bitch in wishing he would man up and I’m ashamed to say I get cross with him. Are my expectations unrealistic? I can take criticism, I just need to find out if my reactions are normal. I was very sympathetic early on and never left his side but 6 months down the line I am totally fed up.
