I feel.quite selfish in saying how utterly scared I am I want to be strong for my hubby but sometimes I could just cry seeing his loss of dignity during all the tests. Does anyone else supporting a loved one feel selfish for feeling like this?
I totally understand what you mean. My hubby was diagnosed with bowel cancer in August and is now nearly 2 weeks post op. I felt so helpless but I found this community page which has been an absolute god send. Yes the lead up to to the surgery was very stressful and not very pleasant for my hubby but the medical staff are fantastic and it really is just another day for them. Always here is you need a chat xx
Hi Forever hopefull I am a husband in the same situation as yours my wife also feels bad for me but I think I would rather be poked an prodded and have strangers doing unmentionable things to me than leave my darling wife and family behind. Remember what the alternative is and just look forward to the rest of your lives after its all over. Love and best wishes to you and your family.
