Family & Friends of Cancer Patients Support Group
This community is dedicated to parents, siblings, grandparents, other relatives, friends and caretakers of cancer patients. It's difficult to find a safe place to talk about caring for a loved one with cancer, and so this group serves as an open forum to foster positivity and support for those going through this tough time.
my wife is dealing with a second round of cervical cancer 4 years after her first round where the md told her she was cured. She is struggling with the idea of how to fight this time as she and I have not yet had any children and we really wanted one. However due to other issues in her health we would most likely need hormone therapy for her to get pregnant and so she is fearful of causing cancer to come back again or being much more severe and killing her leaving her child without a mother. So now she is a wreck thinking about having a full hysterectomy. I can only imagine what she is going through emotionally and I have no idea what to say or do for her to let her know I am here for her. Any advice would be appreciated.
Do say, I'm here, I'm listening, I want to help in any way I can. Remind her you are in this fight together. Put her first, but also take care of your emotional and physical health.
It's the little things, the little positive moments each day that need to be cherished: a bird's song, a fluffy cloud, the smell of a flower, the taste of a food that is still enjoyable, some tactile experience that makes her feel safe and relaxed.,
