DH has cancer - Struggling

3 replies

GoOnGoOnGoOn · 24/11/2019 00:24

DH just finished 7 weeks of chemoradiotherapy for a throat tumour, reliant on a PEG feeding tube now for meds and nutrition.
Two weeks post treatment, prognosis is good but God, this is so hard. He is so up and down, hates the tube feeding and so do I although feel I can't admit this to anyone. If one more person says we're either brave or unlucky, I will scream.
Have two DC and it is awful watching affect on them.
DH is main income provider by long way , no idea how long he'll be off work, paid in full for now but longer term uncertain.
I work PT and they've been less than supportive.
No real point to post other than outlet for how down I feel.

There's a cancer support thread on the health board where you can get some support - www.mumsnet.com/Talk/general_health/3697698-Cancer-support-thread-72-come-in-were-here-for-you Flowers

Feel for you OP - it must be hell on earth being the one who has to keep everything going for everyone else, and stay positive in to the bargain.
It might help to join the Macmillan forum - lots of people in similar situations who absolutely understand. A place to wail and rant and be honest. Flowers

I'm sorry OP. That sounds so shitty and stressful.

Runkle that thread is for people being treated, not their families.
