Hello everyone, my 56 year old partner has recently been diagnosed with cancer in his mouth. Needless to say this news has hit us for six. I was a carer for my late husband for many years, he was diabetic and had a bad heart, so I'm feeling a little bit angry and sad that this has happened. Obviously this is making me feel guilty as it's not my partner's fault but I can't help feeling resentful. Is this a normal reaction?
Hi kopmel
guilt resentment anger and fear are all part of the road. You’re allowed to feel all these just as all of us here have at some stage.
Sorry to see you here but as you are stick around. It’s a really helpful place to be. There are lots of us to give you a hand through what is going to be a difficult but doable time.
Ask any questions you like. Somebody will answer them.
Remember, though the treatment is rubbish cure rates are very high and most people make a good recovery.
I’m four plus years clear of my treatment and living really well.
Best wishes
Dani
