My husband was recently diagnosed with melanoma cancer with 3 brain mets. He had some treatment which initially shrunk the tumours but last scans showed they have increased and treatment has now come to an end. I think he is depressed as well as very tired all the time and I’ve accepted that he only has months to live but the hardest thing is being at home so much without having anything to do and unable to make plans for anything. We are both in our 50’s and used to go out quite a bit I feel guilty if I go out anywhere but really can’t stand being at home all the time he doesn’t have any energy or interest in doing anything. He is frustrated and gets quite cross with me at times. Everyone is being kind and supportive but they’re not here all the time I just feel like screaming I know I’m not the one who’s dying but feel like my life has come to an end too and now I feel selfish for feeling like that as well.
