He has no energy as he isn’t having enough feeds, despite Meyer efforts to encourage him.&nbsp;<BR /><BR /></P><P>We have moved from a rural area to be closer to family and decent hospitals. I’m feeling so guilty as I am barely home now. Im</P><P>doing all the things I’ve always loved (ukulele, choir, line dancing) and my husband isn’t well enough to join me. All he does is sleep and watch tv for 2 1/2 weeks amd has 4 good days before his chemo</P><P>cycle starts again.&nbsp;<BR /><BR />I assume it’s normal to feel guilty? Other than my husbands cancer, I’m the happiest I’ve been in years. Watch a bitch, eh? I spend a lot of time singing and playing ukulele with my 82yo amulet, who lost her husband 2 years ago. She is also feeling guilty.&nbsp;</P> Sat, 11 Nov 2023 11:00:58 GMT nannyanny 2023-11-11T11:00:58Z Guilt for having fun https://onlinecommunity.cancercouncil.com.au/t5/Coping-with-a-loved-one-s-cancer/Guilt-for-having-fun/m-p/41207#M5012 <P>Hi all</P><P>my husband has stage 4 esophagus cancer and is fed via a tube through a stent in the tumour, and to his intestines.
