Just read your blogs.
I think for many who are diagnosed with cancer it is not usually what it was originally thought to be.

It sounds like you have had a difficult couple of weeks. It doesn't look like this will change for a while but keep talking here as much as you need. That will help you to get through this. I hope that your husband's treatment goes well .

I also think that whilst in treatment you are feeling supported but now you are on your own. It's harder to stay motivated when you are on your own. To help overcome the loneliness are you socialising with friends or family? Have you been able to resume any of your former activities ? T his may help or it may be too soon . I don't know .

I think you have good reason to complain or even just talk about your health and not feel guilty. After counselling you will probably find a way to talk to your partner about how you feel . All the best for now.

When you say your partner's cancer is terminal it doesn't tell us if he is expected to survive for a short time or a long time. If it is only a short time I think it would be harder for you to complain about your cancer. One place you can whinge or whatever is here.If you feel it may help the Cancer Council provides face-to -face or phone counselling ,5 sessions free of charge for a cancer related problem. I suggest you ring them.
I am sorry that you are in this difficult situation ,facing losing your partner and not being able to express your feelings about your cancer .
Have you had surgery and /or radiation? What treatment had your partner had?

Just read in the November,2011 Readers' Digest where dogs were tested for their ability to sniff out cancers.Five dogs were used in a study in the US and Poland. There was a control group who were healthy and 86 lung and breast cancer patients. The dogs' accuracy levels ranged from 88% to 97%.I n other studies two German Shepherds,an Australian Shepherd and a Labrador correctly sniffed out lung cancer in 71% of 220 patients.Dogs have also been able to detect colon cancer.
There is more about detector dogs used for people with other life threatening conditions in this article.
