myagle2 Posted July 25, 2006 Share Posted July 25, 2006 Hi, My name is Mary, and I need some one or many someones to talk to, I feel I will soon explode. My husband, Danny, was given his diagnosed with stage 4 in sept of 04, gone through many many chemos, the last being altima, now avistin, with others, including zemetra?? for his bones. Its awfull, I feel guilty about going to work every day, but YOU know I have to, cause heis on my insurance now, after 35 years on the same job, he lost his insurance, long story, thats the way it is. I have come to this site daily since then, hardly ever posting( hard for me). I now see myself where Carleen was, not long ago, and I am struggling just to get up and go to work, (I know I have to, how will he survive if I dont provide for him??) Oh my god, will I ever have a companion again?, what is he thinking if I am thinking the worst? Sorry that this is so long, there is soooo much more, and Iam needing some one to talk to.

Connie B Posted July 26, 2006 Share Posted July 26, 2006 Mary, If nothing else, maybe you would like to go to the Caregivers Forum and let it all out! I know you'll get tons of support and understanding for all the wonderful caregivers here. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
terriep Posted July 26, 2006 Share Posted July 26, 2006 Mary, I am new to this "becoming a buddy" thing, but I am willing to talk if you need to. I am also from PA - Western - and had my surgery in Pittsburgh. You may PM me if you like - I will keep you in my thoughts and prayers - I have a little experience in being both the caregiver (for my mom - nsclc diag. June, 2005) and as the patient. The folks on this site are the best. You will have many to talk to any time of the day, and lots with experience. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
