to talk about anything they want. It might be to praise, worry or gripe about their diagnosis, treatment, doctors, parents, family members, or caregivers. It is also a place to find some respite from all things cancer -so we have movies, walks thru cities, music, art, and encourage people to take care of themselves as they go through the aftermath of treatment -the impact of it which might last years.
Too often, everyone talks over, around and for the cancer patient, and this forum exists for them. Please read the description on the sidebar, and go through our valuable resource links for cancer patients, as well as other forums for caregiver support or grief support.

Encouragement Guilty because of my support team

6 Upvotes

I have incredible people in my life, who have supported me really well (with some gentle guidance) since I was diagnosed with incurable cancer nearly 3 years ago. The first year and half was OK, because my treatment didn't impact me too much and was really effective. Since then, I've had to start more invasive treatments and surgeries, and with each recovery comes another thing to overcome. I'm sad and I'm tired and I feel I have nothing to offer and I feel so guilty for the people who keep just showing up, even though I just complain and stay in bed and ask things of them.

My husband in particular is where a lot of guilt lies. He is the kindest man, I adore him. We were trying to have children, but now we can't. He would make the most incredible father and co-parent. He deserves so much fullness in his life, but now he's stuck with me. Sometimes, I just want to break up with him and let him be free to live an easy life. I kind of tried when I was first diagnosed, we weren't married. Instead he proposed to me. Maybe I should have said no.

Does anyone have any advice for how to deal with this feeling of being a burden? It's been one of my biggest challenges!
