Saddaisy Posted March 30, 2021 Share Posted March 30, 2021 My partner of 20 years (married 4) was just diagnosed with cancer. I don’t know how to handle this.I can barely get through the day without crying.I’m drinking and smoking myself into a coma every night. he’s only 44 this isn’t how his life is supposed to end.he’s in denial right now and is eating terrible and drinking waaaay more than me. (Probably 16 beers Saturday night ) I’m good after a bottle of wine. I want to help him, but I also can’t stop bawling. And he’s mad at me for something stupid so we can’t even talk. one thing I know is I have the best boss ever. She can never leave me lol. 1 Link to post Share on other sites
BaileyB Posted March 30, 2021 Share Posted March 30, 2021 I’m so sorry. This is hard. My mom was diagnosed with cancer almost ten years ago now. She passed away six months to the day. I remember the shock of those first days. It is shock. You will regain your balance with time, more tests will be done, hopefully there are treatment options to explore. My only advice is to take each day as it comes. Take care of yourself. Be kind to each other. Find someone else with whom you can talk and seek support. This is a hard road. My prayers are with you.

trident_2020 Posted March 30, 2021 Share Posted March 30, 2021 Well it's not doing either one of you any good to destroy yourselves with the drinking and smoking. This is the time to take care of yourselves not give up and make things worse. Link to post Share on other sites
