Hello all,
My husband has terminal cancer. I’m trying to do all I can to make him happy, comfortable and what ever els I can. But he just does not notice us. This life has become only about him. It’s heartbreaking loosing someone you love but even worse when I feels like they only care about themselves now. I feel so awful trying this here, I’m at my wits end.
Does anyone out there have the same situation.
much love to all
Hi and welcome to the Online Community.
I am so sorry to read about the challenges you are facing but I hope you will find the support available in the community helpful at this difficult and challenging time.
Talking with others who are walking the same type of cancer support path (my one is completely different) will help you navigate this unwanted journey.
The New to Community is like the Community Reception area and as there are many cancer types and experiences so likewise the Community has many support groups so can I recommend you start by joining our supportive Carers only and Supporting someone with incurable cancer groups where you will connect with others supporting family and friends
Navigating the community will depend on the device you are using. To join a group just click on the green link above then scroll down and choose 'click to join' or 'join' on the page that opens.
You can then introduce yourself by putting up a post by clicking on ‘New Thread’ or ‘New here, say hello’ then hit the box with the X on the top right (phones).
You could just copy and paste the text from this your first post and you can also join in with existing ‘Discussions’ by clicking on 'reply'.
It’s always good to talk so do call the Macmillan Support Services on 0808 808 00 00 - most services are open 8am to 8pm, 7 days a week Clicking here to see what is available. This service provides lots of cancer information, support, financial guidance or just a listening ear.
All the very best ((hugs))
Thank you for helping me. It’s a bit of a mine filed.
Hi,
thanks for replying.
It’s soul destroying isn’t it. Your heart broken, trying to make sure the kids lives continue as normal as possible. When yours is falling apart. It’s very hard being broken for someone who does not seem to care one bit for you. At least that’s my situation. If my husband was not terminal I now question if he would even be here with us. Which breaks my heart twice.
is your husband Also terminal?
sending love and understanding your way
Hi and a warm welcome to you.
The community is divided up into different support groups so if you want to look through this list you can choose the appropriate cancer specific one for your situation and this second list is for our various other Cancer experience groups.
If you need any help please shout out.
Hi, yes it is a terminal diagnosis but he is doing well and you wouldn’t even know he was ill. I’m so confused now how I’m meant to feel as the infidelity has changed my view on everything and not making him leave goes against every thing I believe in but I’m also fighting with the fact that I will be devastated when the cancer takes hold I don’t want to feel I’ve wasted time being angry I feel it is me trying to make as many happy memories as possible.
I totally feel for you and please know that you are not alone as much as it feels that way sometimes xxxx
It was my first time on here too and I have defiantly found comfort in knowing that I wasn’t the only one struggling. Xx
You have summed up beautifully how I’m feeling. The dread of when the day comes, how will I be able to process something that’s already so hard to process.
Thank you for being honest and sharing your heart. It’s not something everyone on here will understand.
