Isn't it? Watching someone you love dearly decline before your very eyes has to be one of the most grotesque experiences ever. I least I'm given the privelege of taking care of him.
Hi there. I am also new to this as well...Sick and tired looking like a puffer fish!!!
I just want my husband to be comfortable. He is going to try chemo but it is in a palliative compacity but don't know whether it is right or wrong. Sending big hugs to you all
Thank you for your comment, it’s the same with my wife she has 2 more treatments left. She had a scan and the cancer has not got bigger or spread so the chemo is doing it’s job. Best wishes x
It really is. I sometimes think I can't do right for doing wrong, helping too much, not enough, feeling guilty if I want a little time with other family or on my own. I stay up too late at night after my husband has gone to bed just to relax and watch TV. I'm really doing my best but sometimes doesn't feel like it at all. My husband has mood swings which I know is part of this illness, but hard to take at times. He is after all the one that is so poorly. Just keep going everyone. There are moments of laughter and joy in all this, you just have to look for them sometimes.
Thank you for your kind words, I can relate to all the emotions you are feeling. Tomorrow is another day we dust ourselves down ,have a little cry and do our best . xx
Yes it is. We have to do exactly that. No one said it was easy, but didn’t expect the swing of emotions all of the time.
My husband is really struggling with the fact he is so dependent on me to do anything because of his ‘bad’ leg. He’s terrified of falling again. I say it’s not a problem to me, but that’s not the point really, it is to him.
Take a deep breath and carry on helping the person you love.
