Well my life is about to take a massive left turn.

My wife was diagnosed with breast cancer a month ago. So currently the plan is six months of chemo and then surgery. I'm trying very hard not to go down a very dark rabbit hole but it's incredible difficult.

 Also have ADHD and getting my brain just to quiet down a bit so I can calmly process the vast amount of information that's currently buzzing about.

My mood hasn't been great for years and trying to get the NHS to  deal with my TRD is frustrating at best and we now have this to deal with.

I will be there for my wife every step of the way, no matter what the outcome but I'm under no illusions how hard this is going to be.

My wife is the core of my world and I don't want to contemplate what could happen.

So, sorry for the waffle but I just need to park these thoughts somewhere.

  • That is such hard news for your family, I am sending love and good thoughts to both you and your wife.

    We all take turns in life, from time to time, to need our "waffle" heard and supported.

    Thank you for sharing your situation with us here, I hope we may be of support as best we can, drawing upon the lived experience of our respective families.

    Also, worth book-marking the below page, as Macmillan Cancer Support are available to support partners / family members just as much as for patients.  People often think of them as all about brochures and telephone support - however, it is important to share at the bottom of this web page they offer other ways to obtain support too:
