My husband has blood cancer x2. He has ET that has progressed to mylofibrosis.  He has had many surgeries for other things not related and the cancer for 26 years. I feel like it's really taking a toll now as he becomes more unwell.  I have sever anxiety issues and just feel alone. Life is a round of hospital visits and surgeries for him. Sometimes I just want to run away and hide from it all. 

  • Dont apologise I know we have all felt the same way.  My husband has just completed 9 cycles of folfox and pani.  The oncologist has just given him a month off before transferring him to capi, which is in pill form. The folfox and pani has really taken its toll.  Hopefully the month off will help.

    I reached out to my GP who has been a real  help.  Have you any interests outside the home?  My dogs have been a saving grace.

    Be kind to yourself.  I know about feeling alone.  It us hard.

  • Don't be too hard on yourself, you're only human and it's incredibly difficult. X
