Hi everyone. I feel so lost at the moment. My husband of 24 years was diagnosed 5 weeks ago with T4N2b base tongue and lymph cancer. Feels like our whole life has just completely changed in the blink of an eye. We’ve a young teenage son with a progressive disability so feeling so overwhelmed with what our future as a family may hold now and trying to cope with not only my husband diagnosis but our sons medical condition and his current emotional state.
I’m finding it so hard to be able to discuss my husbands condition with him as he will shut down, get angry or defensive. The “walking on egg shells” is absolutely exhausting. Is this “normal” that I feel I can’t talk openly anymore to someone I’ve spent so much of my life with? X
