Hi. My husband has been diagnosed with lung cancer, pos1. Not to sure what it exactly means. Five weeks in to chemotherapy, tablet form. A few side effects are starting to appear. However some days he's really quite ( which I fully understand), withdrawn, snapping at me, ignoring the animals. We have no family so I have no one to sound off to. Can anyone suggest anything please.
Hi My love
I am Steve and more often seen in Carers only forum and Family and friends forum as while my wife's cancer is in her lungs those are metastatic Leiomyosarcoma - and that is another story altogether.
It is really very common for people to struggle with their own emotions when they get a diagnosis and it is not uncommon for that to be reflected in their relationships with those who are most dear to them.
I know one thing I needed to do was look to my own emotions and I know looking at your feelings when someone has cancer I recognize a lot of what I went through. I did a living with less stress course that really helped me but then we have been living with cancer now for over 10 years so I guess had plenty of time to practice.
<<hugs>>
Steve
