My partner has just finished her chemo. She has Stage 4 ovarian cancer. It is also in her stomach and lungs. The chemo has done as much as it can do for now and so her treatment will be an oral drug until such times as the cancer kick starts again. The oncologist has said this can be anything from 6 months to 2 years. Everyone is celebrating the fact that she's finished chemo. I cant. It's not the end. It's just a waiting game till it all kicks off again. I dont want to rain on everyone's parade ...but I dont see that there's anything to celebrate. I feel very alone.
Hi
Sorry to read about your partner. My wife's cancer was incurable from the outset but her cancer is currently stable.
Loneliness is quite a common emotion in these times. I know when I talk about Janice's cancer many who have not been there are "how do you cope" - well some days it is tough but mostly just keep on top of things that are in the here and now. At least got their thanks to a living with less stress course.
<<hugs>>
Steve
