Hi There
You are not being weak and useless at all – its such a shock to get the diagnosis and it takes a while for everything to sink in.
I can understand exactly where you are coming from. My hubby was diagnosed just August last year and has just come to the end of his 6th cycle of Chemo.
It has been hard going – especially the last 3 cycles during which he has been in hospital twice (1st time with Flu and 2nd time with his kidneys playing up) and has had 3 small blood clots in his lungs.
It has hit him really hard as he has always been so fit and well.
We both have good days and bad days and the silliest little things can set off a row between us – the last one was about mushrooms!!!
But its because we always know we can trust and rely on those people nearest to us.
Today I have had a visit from the loveliest lady we met in clinic whose husband is also having treatment and had stem cell therapy last year.
She was so knowledgeable and has given us so many hints and tips about what to expect.
It was wonderful to be able to talk to someone who is also going through this.
I am seriously thinking of trying to find a local support group to attend.
Remember to look after yourself too as you need that care and attention too.
