Hi I'm 54 my husband is 58 he was diagnosed uncurable cancer 18months ago, we beat bowel cancer 10yrs ago then bolt from the blue here we are again. I looked after him at home until last November until he went into hospital with low oxygen, when he then went into nursing home I was told then he had approximately 3months left. I was managing reasonably well with my emotions until Nov then it hit me, antidepressants and councilling course, completed that advised me to join this group to talk to people in the same situation. I'm struggling at the minute as my husband 3days ago refused all pain relief medication and his oxygen, had to give him his medication via cannula, he has since puuled this out refused oxygen, visited him today told me to go, that in its self was upsetting but seeing him struggle with breathing and pain is harder as I can't do anything to help, he wouldn't even look at me today.My emotions all over since this morning
