Hi Karen, Sorry to see you here. We welcome everyone in to our club and yet wish no one had to be part of it. Cancer is scary. No if’s or buts. Unless you have been through it, you won’t understand the trauma it causes. Your partner may be struggling to come to terms with it as well and doesn’t know how to act. Your first priority at this point of time is you. Try to get out with some friends or go for a walk in the fresh air. Do something you enjoy. Getting our minds even partially off the cancer helps. Make up some meals and freeze them. This will help on those days that everything is just too much. Sending big hugs.
