Hello I am a partner of a person suffering with cancer. Sercoma stage 3. I am struggling and to be honest feel guilty posting here. She won't talk about her cancer. She attends her appointments alone. She won't let me go. I drive her but that's it. I ts been like this for about 2 years now. We live in serparte rooms of the house. I have tried to make an effort booking nights out etc. She doesn't want to know. I'm lost. Any advise or help would be great. Thank you
Hi and welcome to our community though sorry to hear about your partner. It must be very tough on both of you.
I will guess the cancer might be sarcoma and if so there are two major divisions - bone sarcoma and soft tissue sarcoma. We have information on both here that might be helpful to look at but also you could look at the sarcoma uk site.
I wonder if it might help you and your partner to talk if you got a copy of talking about cancer.
What hospital is your partner being treated at? Sarcoma is quite rare - my wife has Leiomyosarcoma and it makes things interesting wherever she sees a locum doctor and we see them look up the condition on wikipedia. Janice has had two different types of chemotherapy and her cancer has now been stable for about six years.
<<hugs>>
