Hi @Pam52, good for you reaching our here. None of us want this dreadful disease and mets is really next level isn't it. We all care and understand all the frustration, ups and downs and how tough treatment is. It must be hard in the country too.
Did you know the cancer council offers free counselling for anyone with cancer. I used this when I was first diagnosed with mets. It was very helpful. Not saying you have to do that but it is great to know it's available if you need it.
Good to join the mets group too as we really get it, even all the different reactions of friends and family. It so difficult when we have our own emotions to deal with. Maybe hubby is in denial or trying to pretend it's not happening. I recently had a friend of 35 years visit from the UK. She never once asked how I was. I thought is strange but apparently it can be common for people to ignore the conditions as a way of them coping. Seems odd to me.
Go for it in the motor home. Plan a short get away to start with to test it all out. I find getting away really helpful with the mets and I get away in our camper when I can. I have monthly injections in the chemo ward so I have little trips in-between treatment and it's so good for me.
Reach out any time. Take care and let us know how you are going.
