Wifes has stopped her chemo, not my choice. No other options for treatment so it will spread now, out of my control. She thinks its bad now, thats why she has stopped treatment, going to get grim next... her choice. Just got to smile and say l support your decision my love NOT MY CHOICE
Never felt so disempowered in my life... oh sorry, yes l did, 40 years ago when my father stopped treattment because he couldnt take it, not my choice either... died 6 months later of lung cancer
Hello Husband not saint
We've "spoken" before and I am so sorry to read your latest post - I can do nothing but offer you my support at this time - if you want to chat I am here - if you want to vent I am here.
Is there anything I or Macmillan can do for you - I know I suggested you ring the Support line - that's there for you on 0808 808 00 00 (8am to 8pm 7 days a week). Please do give them a call - they can help.
Your wife isn't the only one to refuse treatment this week - one of my Community members on the Prostate group has also refused treatment and in an effort to make him understand his circumstances someone has posted this link:
The Parable of The Drowning Man
It's a long shot - but try asking your wife to read it or read it to her - you never know it might work.
I am not in your shoes - but here for you - putting your feeling down in words is one of the best ways to get your feelings out of your system - so you know where to come.
Best wishes - Brian.
Macmillan Support Line - 0808 808 00 00, 7 days a week between 8am-8pm
