My husband has been diagnosed with advance T4 bowel cancer and he has his first oncology appointment on Wednesday. He has been poorly since October last year and had a colonoscopy on the 12th of December, but they diagnosed the problem as diverticulitis. Since then he has been given the further diagnosis. I myself am disabled and work, full-time, and a very little family to fall back on. I have recently changed jobs to relieve the pressure and I can only imagine what my husband must be feeling. I feel so alone I feel angry, upset, tired, anxious and scared. At this moment I feel like I just sit and cry is this normal anybody else feeling the same supporting somebody with cancer because this moment I feel really selfish feeling this way. Any advice taken?
Hi Happy Chic
Im sending you a hug and agreeing with Kath in that your feelings are normal
You’re trying to process this new information I mean diverticulitis to cancer is a smack in the chest
You must feel breathless
I’m sorry that you’re going through this if it helps to talk here then feel free I’ve found chatting here helps my sanity
Take care
Ann
