Things have been building up over the last couple of weeks and now DH is going to need my support and it's the final thing - I really want to cry - at the same time none of this is about me. Sorry, I just need to offload here or somewhere!
My Uncle (who is like a second Dad to me) hasn't been well for a 10 weeks, after the four scans (his only symptom is occasionally being sick) they've confirmed he has lung cancer and they're operating on either 4th or 5th July. He's 83, but looking at him you'd think he was more like 70 so I didn't see it lung cancer coming.
I recently had to have one of my cats PTS. My other cat needs a dental and as she's elderly with a heart murmur the vet says there's an increased risk with the operation. I've had a lot of soul searching over what to do, and she's now booked in next week. I'll never forgive myself if I lose her while she's under, but at the same time she needs to live pain free. I love(d) my cats and they are like children to me.
I also have a friend with breast cancer and they'll be operating in 10-14 days. I can't imagine what's been going through her mind and what she's got to put herself through.
The final straw is that we found out MIL has started being sick a couple of weeks ago. Doctor has scan booked and results due this week. In the meantime she's lost a lot of weight, can't eat and is breathless. DH kept saying it's because she's elderly but he saw her yesterday and admitted he can't see her getting through this. I don't know whether I want to cry for him, her or it's just everything coming at one. Hopefully I'm just having an off day.
