I understand fully what cancer does to the body and mind. My husband has had Stage 4 prostate cancer then it went to pelvis and now the spine. When diagnosed I called my sister (16 yrs younger than me) I am 74 yrs young and asked her for her Love & support. She doesnt even call to see how He is doing Also have a 47 & 50 yr old sons. They hardly come.
The younger one thinks selfishly about his scheduled social life. The older lives 2 hrs from us. He says he cannot come d)own every other week> We wonder how he is teaching our high school age grandson about Life & Death.
I also developed Fibromyalgia about 1 yr ago with severe pain including anxiety and depression.
We wonder where is the Compassion in this World! We finally found a church that has wonderful caring indi iduals. We certainly dont find it in the people we have known for 50 years. I also go to two therapists. Now the doctors want to do a drug that possibly have bad side effects for him. I am feeling emotional and burning out! I also do not sleep. My husband sleeps like a baby. He will cook but do nothing else. What to do? It is very difficult to be the sole support and caregiver. I pray for anyone or all in this situation. By the way, I am blessed that doctors may give my husband more God Given Life. I was ready for him to go the last time they said that the cancer had spread and they couldnt do anything more for him, I should Not even Think This Way. I Need Help.
