I've found myself extremely upset over something and, being the emotional
type person I am, I decided to through it out to my experts (and I feel that
you are my friends, also) to see if I am being unreasonable or if I have
just cause for having hurt feelings.
As most of you know, my husband, Jim, has lung cancer. He has gone through
16 times of radiation and 3 sessions of chemo (3days in a row, 3 weeks
apart). I have been with him every step of the way, trying to be supportive
even on things I don't feel I should have to be.
Jim had his first CT scan last Wed. to see what difference(s) there are in
his tumors between when he was first diagnosed and where we are now
(medically).
I was all excited (and scared) to go with him to see his oncologist on
Monday to see what she had to say about any changes (good or bad) that might
be showing up on his scan and his constant lab work.
All of a sudden, he has decided that he doesn't want me to go and I feel as
though he has just shut me out (yes, I am feeling sorry for myself). I have
seen him through everything he has had to endure since he was diagnosed.
Has this happened to those of you that are caregivers and how did you feel?
Am I just being a blubbering idiot?
Do those of you who have cancer feel ever not want your significant others
to share things like this with them and to keep your privacy between your
dr. and you private?
I don't know if I am blowing this out of proportion and would like your
inputs. Please feel free to be blunt as that is what I am asking of you.
