Hi Silverarrow, what a long hard journey you’ve had.  So sorry your husband is now so changed. I have no experience with those particular drugs. Just wanted to say sending you love and prayers. Hope someone out there on the forum can give you advice. Cancer Council is a good place to get advice. 🙏💕 Linda G    ... View more

So glad there is a friend helping you. My goal after chemo was to go shopping by myself.  It took a while for my energy to build up but now I am shopping without my husband! Yay!  Let’s hope that you have a positive result from your scan in February. 💕 Linda G  ... View more

Hi Reverend, hope you were able to find some joy on Christmas Day. I’m so grateful I’m a Christian but during the worst days of chemo and side effects I really felt abandoned by God! I kept telling myself I wasn’t, but it was a real spiritual battle. One I’ve not experienced before. It was only the scriptures that kept me going. Now I’m better and just trying to feel normal again. I look different and my emotions are different now. Hope you’re doing better with your side effects 🙏💕 Linda G  ... View more

Hi Mick, I’m glad the tumour is shrinking. That’s good news for you. Yes the fatigue from treatment is hard. Is there someone you can ask to do your shopping for you? Most people just want to help when you are in need. Don’t be afraid to ask!   Praise God for the unconditional love of pets!! How many more treatments to go? 🙏💕 Linda G  ... View more

Hi Maveson2,  yes your post came through. At least you have a date for your procedure although it might feel like a long wait for you. Hope you can just stay busy and get yourself ready for recovery time after your op. Hope you were able to enjoy Christmas. 💕💕 Linda G  ... View more

Hi Reverend, welcome to the forum. Can you get your pain managed better? Pain def makes you depressed! And the hormonal changes too! No wonder you’re feeling so low. So sorry. Try and see your specialist for more pain relief if possible. Love and prayers to you 🙏💕. Linda  ... View more

Hi Bearysadbear, that’s not good news. So sorry very sorry. Does that mean you’ve already tried different types of chemo before this one? I hope you’re surrounded by supportive loved ones to help you at this time. Love and prayers to you  🙏💕 Linda G  ... View more

Hi KD, so sorry about the health of you and your husband.  Good that your cancer is under control. It all sounds very overwhelming for you and that’s completely understandable. You sound like such a supportive wife and you are doing the best you can. We are all so different in our experiences but we all support each other on this forum and it’s ok to let your feelings out here. I know when I was looking after my mum, I would get so frustrated that everyone day there was a new problem and then I would feel guilty that I was frustrated!!! She has gone now and I just want her back 😥. I’ve just got over non Hodgkin’s lymphoma, thank God, and my husband was so wonderful and caring which I am so grateful for. Hope you have loved ones around you to give you the support you need while you care for your husband. 💕💕🙏 Linda G  ... View more

Hi, so sorry about your situation with your precious wife. Maybe you could talk to someone at the Cancer Council. They are really supportive and understanding. 🙏💜 Linda G  ... View more

Hi Stuart, so sorry that your wife’s cancer has come back. I can imagine how devastating this is for you. All I can suggest is just to be real about your feelings with your wife. You can always talk to someone at the Cancer Council. They are so helpful for those with cancer and their carers. I was the one with cancer and my husband was my rock through the journey. You’ll be that rock again but you’re allowed to feel upset. Maybe just comfort each other and tell her how you are feeling. Just my thoughts on your situation. Take care🙏💜 ... View more
