My husband has mixed cell lung cancer that has traveled to his brain..
He has just finished his third round of chemotherapy and the chemo and steroid tablets at home .
this time around his behaviour has changed and he is very angry, it feels like I can’t say or do anything without him getting angry or shouting.
im trying to support him the best that I can but I feel like I want to leave because of his behaviour.
im slowly loosing the man I love .
what can I do
Hi Karyn
Welcome to our community, I hope you find it both informative and supportive.
Sorry to hear about your husband, that does sound very difficult and while it can be easy to think it is all because of the cancer or the treatment that is sometimes not really helpful.
Do you have any support yourself? You are entitled to a carers assessment and at the same time it can be helpful to get a needs assessment for your husband. You are also welcome to ring the helpline here 0808 808 0000 anytime between 8am and 8pm 7 days a week.
<<hugs>>
