Feeling alone.

Dear Cancerbabexo, it's tough isn't? My partner was diagnosed with AML in December last year and with Covid things have become even more difficult in terms of wellbeing and social interaction. I understand there is very little support out there.

I know with my friends and family, I have not asked for much help because of Covid- to protect us and them but I know they are a phone call away.

My partner and I do very simple things to try and distract us from reality. Like, cook a meal together or watch a cheesy old classic movies or even play board games. 

I understand how difficult this is but it's important that you try and talk how you feel to your partner and I know this isn't always the solution but do you have access to a counsellor- just to release how you feel? Has your medical team got support in place apart from just treatment? 

I wish you well in your treatment journey, to your partner and that you can smile again. You are definitely not alone.
