Looking for advice

Hi. I'm pretty rubbish at advice, but just want to say it sounds like you're doing a great job.  My husband has terminal cancer and I feel very alone.  It might not feel like you're being useful, but honestly, just being there and being understanding and caring will be a help.  I don't think there's much you can say or do. Just take it one day at a time. I don't know what her mum's prognosis is, but hopefuly, she will recover from this - recovery rates are improving all the time. My mum had breast cancer over 20 years ago.  She recovered and is now over 90. Maybe you can persuade your wife to see the gp for medication to help with her sleep. If she can get a good nights sleep, maybe she'll at least get the tiredness under control? 

Thank you so much for your kind words and advice, it really means a lot. I’ve taken it on board, and my partner has contacted the GP for help with her sleep. She also spoken to a Macmillan advisor, which has been really helpful.

It was really reassuring to hear about your mum recovering from breast cancer and living into her 90s. That honestly gave me a bit of hope as mother in law is going through same thing.

I’m so sorry you’re going through this with your husband. Thank you for being so open and sharing your experience with me. Your message has genuinely helped more than you probably realise. Please look after yourself too, and I really hope things get a little easier for you both. ️

Thanks for letting me know I was some help.  Just keep doing what you’re doing. Best of luck to you all. x
