My husband has t4 cancer. Oesphagus, bones and right lung. I don't know how long he has got. I have no one to talk to about anything. Every one close to him makes him feel important and special. No one makes me feel special and wanted. I'm his carer and Wife, wife first. I'm knackered and I passed out last week. No one cares about the carers. I need to feel wanted.
Hi and welcome to the Online Community, although I am sorry to see you finding us and so sorry to hear that you are having a hard time.
I have always said that the person looking on and caring has as hard a journey as the person with the cancer.
Can I direct you to this link to our very supportive Careers Only group to be good places where you can connect with others support family through their cancer journey but more importantly the carers care for each other.
Just follow the link above, hitting ‘Join the Group’ tab just under the main group name, then go to the 'Start a Discussion' tab and set up your own Discussion and introduce yourself to the group - you could just copy an paste what you have in this first post.
We do have lots of support groups that are Cancer specific and also ones that are general Cancer experience groups.
You may find our various Macmillan Support Line Services to be helpful - call them on 0808 808 00 00 This free service covers Emotional Support, Practical Information. Clinical Information, Financial Support and Work Guidance mostly open 8.00 to 8.00 but check the link.
Talking to people face to face can help a lot so check to see if you have any Local Macmillan Support in your area or a Maggie’s Centre as these folks are amazing.
All the vesy best ((hugs))
