My husband has been diagnosed with rectal cancer and is due to start chemo and radiology to shrink the tumour before surgery. He has a different form of cancer a couple of years ago and is all clear on that. He is a very angry man who is not coping well with the loss of control and his frustration and anxiety has turned into physical and emotional abuse. I know that it is not his fault, it os so much to cope with and his frustration manifests in anger but I am struggling to cope with the moods….one minute it’s all positive thinking, the next he is being vile and hitting me. I want to be supportive and ignore the bad stuff but I am struggling to let it go. Advice please.

  • I suggest you get help from the Macmillan helpline, this is not good for either of you. Sending gentle ((hugs))

  • Hi 

    I have only just seen your post and whilst it’s a hard process to go through for a patient it’s unacceptable to become abusive .

    I am going to ask admin to contact you to offer support .

    Take care ,
