Hi. 6 days in on third round TC chemo. Hanging in OK, but quite teary and tired, so maybe making a mountain out of a molehill. But it's only me and hubby, surely it's not that hard to organise shopp...
TC gets harder as it goes along J. You have my sympathy; I was a mess in my third cycle!
Have you given your husband the leaflet for partners to read? Did he read it? Would he?!
Sometimes people like that do better with a very direct and literal list. As in, could you give him an actual list of things you need and require doing? If he's not offended by the concept it might relieve a lot of pressure for him and remove scope for misunderstanding.
Also, do you have access to online shopping? You can do that from bed!
The good news is that once TC is over, you'll be back up to 60 - 70% in about three months. Can you book in for a gentle exercise physiology class for a few weeks after you're finished? Though I know the golf course will be beckoning...!
Hang in there J. You're almost done. Big hug. K xox
