I'm missing something special

I can't fill the gap your husband has left but I am sending you a cyber hug.....

Try posting on the Awake thread....day or night...you'll get lots of virtual support there. Several posters are at present being treated for their second or even third cancer.

Posting on a chattier thread which is constantly monitored will mean that you can express exactly what you are feeling at any time and find an empathetic ear.

Take care and keep in touch. We are here for you.

Love Karen

 Rusty53x bless you, i can identify with this, my first bout of this bc experience was with hubs, but he sadly died before my second round, a recurrence some 6 years later. The oncologist felt that my 2 years on Tamoxifen let me down (I’d been swapped from Letrozole due to osteoporosis which had been present prior to bc). However I feel that the stress of looking after hubs for his 10 months of diagnosed kidney cancer before it took him, was responsible too. I firmly believe stress has a big, not fully understood, causal agent in cancer development. 

Anyway, I agree with Lacomtekp that the AWAKE thread has a few of us ‘long term’ posters on there. 

My condolences and a big hug to try and help. It can’t replace that manly one that we both miss, but it’s heartfelt nonetheless.

Thank you - I think because being awake in the middle of the night is alien to me - it is something started since I began Anastrozole.

I think being awake my mind works overtime and I really could do with that special cuddle "I'm here, we can get through this etc".  

It won't happen anymore but any type of hug - virtual or otherwise is gratefully accepted .

Gentle hugs and love everybody xx

It doesn't matter if it does happen again, we' ll still be here for every time. It's quite normal to feel alone at night. I expect we've all been there. I know I was.

Those middle-of-the-night wakes are always times when we struggle! Sadly all too normal. And oh yes, those hot flushes!
