Hey, my partner was diagnosed with terminal cancer just over a year ago, lately I have been struggling mentally at the prospect of what’s to come, he is experiencing a lot of anger just now and mostly directed at me it’s tough has anyone been through the same? Thanks x
Hi Saz87,
Sad that you have to be here. Terminal is a tough one to handle. We got told that in May.
Cancer anger is a known thing and I'm fortunate that my husband knows it too. So I can tell him.
Doesn't always help. Try to plan for the future and seek support groups where you can both vent freely. This is a good place to start. X
I feel your pain. The mood swings are so tiring. My husband was always the more balanced of the two of us. Not now unfortunately. He had just had his 6th cycle of folfix and pani. I am driving him for a ct tomorrow afternoon, then a consutants appointment on Thursday. We weren't given any life timescale at first appointment although I must admit most of the technical data went right over my head! May find out more on Thursday.
Keep safe, look after yourself. I know it is difficult. Have you got any hobbies? My outlet is working with the dogs.
I love watching football and my family are doing all they can to makes sure i can still go which does give me a little break i also love crochet so i think i wiil get that out he had his first chemo friday after having a bad reaction on the tuesday he is now very tired which i know is normal. Hope your appts go okay and u take care too
