I think I’m dealing with things quite well. Treatments etc. He keeps going between over caring (I know that’s the wrong term). Then getting annoyed and saying things like he doesn’t want me to die. we end up falling out over it.
Hi Kazlar26 and welcome to the Online Community but so sorry to hear about the challenges you are facing with your husband but I do hope you will find lots of comfort and support from people who understand here on the Online Community.
Unfortunately people deal with a cancer diagnosis in the family oh so differently so extreme emotions and reactions for some, can be normal.
The Community has many dedicated support groups, I see you have joined our Lung Cancer group and you may find our Emotional issues group helpful. These are safe places to talk to other people who might have a similar diagnosis, treatment experience or dealing with family challenges.
If you'd like to connect into this group, you need to join the group. First click on the Green link I have created above. Then click on the black banner that says [click to join] at the bottom, or the [Join] button under "Group tools."
You can then introduce yourself by putting up a new post by clicking in the box near the top right with + New (Computers) or + (Mobile Devices). You will then see a dropdown menu so why not hit ‘Start a Discussion in New here, say hello’
You could copy and paste the text from this your first post. You can also search through existing ‘Discussions’ and click [reply] if you want to put up a comment.
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, emotional support, benefit and financial guidance or just a listening ear.
Talking to people face to face can indeed help a lot but during these strange times it’s not that available but do check to see if you have any Local Macmillan Support in your area has opened up. Do also check out for a local Maggie's Centre
Always around if you need further help in navigating the community.
All the very best ((hugs))
