Thanks for the comments. I know I’m not alone and I have a great family and friends support system but still feel so alone, my husband is so angry and I’m trying to throw myself into projects such as gardening and painting which helps a little. Things are up and down it feels a bit like a roller coaster. I’m getting away for a couple of days next weekend so hoping that helps. ... View more

Thanks I think I will definitely contact the helpline. I’m trying to be everything to everyone but i am failing. Time to get some help. Melbourne lockdowns also not helping this situation.  ... View more

This online support is so comforting as I am in a similar situation my husband was diagnosed with bowel cancer in April and has had complications with first chemo treatment and has been in incredible pain to go with all the other chemo side effects. He is really positive and nice a pie to chemo nurses and they all love him, but his mood swings are  unbearable.  It has been so hard to start a new job that is high stress, take on his issues and try to be there for a teenage boy with severe anxiety and depression. I am on a roller coaster and not coping with all the stress but knowing so many other are going through a similar experience really does help.  So good to know I’m not alone.  ... View more

Thanks Rebecca  sometimes though this you feel like you are doing this alone especially in lockdown. It’s nice to be reminded of the support you have around you.  My husband has just came home today but is still toxic so still can’t touch him and they have had to change up chemo treatment and is now on hold until they get chemical infection under control. They will not use port again as if continues to leak he will need more operations to cut out affected area.  This journey has just begun and already feel so overwhelmed. I hope once the shock settles I will cope better. It’s just so hard to watch him go through this.  ... View more
