My husband was diagnosed with esophegeal cancer stage 3/4 a year ago. We now have 11 folfox chemo treatments and 5 immunotherapy fusions under our belt, and have a pet scan next week. Not many people have this type of cancer, it is hard for me to find others who are dealing with it. Right now my main focus is chemo anger.....my husband is starting to become physical with me...and I am concerned. Anyone want a pen pal?? I am 66 but very young at heart..... ... View more

I am new here. My husband was diagnosed with esophageal cancer, stage 3/4 a year ago. We got married a year ago this April, but have been together for 7 years total. Chris has gone through 11 folfox chemo treatments and is now on his 6th immunotherapy fusion. After about 5 treatments of chemo, I started to see aggressiveness, mis-guided anger, loss of thought, yelling, throwing things, and getting in my face type of behavior. I have talked to the doctors, and they tell me it is chemo brain. This last week, he hit me during an argument, and two days later, shoved me in anger. This behavior is so foreign to me...I am shocked. We both worked in law enforcement, so are totally against domestic violence....but here it is in my own house. I am not scared of him, but this behavior concerns me, hurts my heart, and I want my old friend/lover/husband back. I am facing the same challenges you are...I try not to take it personal, try to ignore actions and nasty words....but it takes its toll. Does this last forever? I don't have any answers...but it is good to know I am not alone. ... View more
