My husband’s cancer

IrishAngie122- — Mon, 30 Oct 2023 03:19:56 GMT

Hi guys

My husband has stage 4 cancer liver and bowel, over a year on treatment doing ok so far no bad side effects.

I stay positive and I work as he isn’t up to working.

I feel very down today like it’s all catching up with me.

I look at him everyday thinking he will be dead in a year it’s like a waiting game.

most says we have good days I’m grateful for that.

today I am worried about money n shit feeling a deep dread in the pit of my stomach and hiding away in my office, trying not to cry.

I do have support but I don’t want to burden them as it’s the kids and family.

I will head out for a walk now thanks for reading this feels better just writing it out.

wishing every one well xxx

Angie

Hi Angie, so sorry for your situation with your husband. All of us on this forum can relate to your feelings, either as a cancer sufferer or as the carer. It’s just so hard😢. Glad you have family around you but you definitely need someone to be able to let your feelings out with. The cancer council are a great support and maybe you could give them a call. You are being amazing standing with your husband through his illness and working as well. Sending you love and prayers 🙏💕. Linda
