Hi Mel,
Having breast cancer is not like any ordinary operation where you have it and then get better.It affects you on every level-physically,emotionally,sexually and you have ongoing treatments.I have had 2 bouts of breast cancer so it can come back.I have also had to have 3 operations for a broken ankle over the last few years.I have been left with pain and stiffness but I'm not going to die from it.I'm sure you've been a great support to your husband but now it's your turn.If he is not strong enough(physically and mentally)to help you through this then you need to find someone who can ie.other family members,friends. Do you think his pain medication is making him agro?If it's your b cancer situation then maybe he just needs a bit of time to process it.But you need to look after yourself now.
