Hi everyone I am new here and this is my first post. I am carer for my husband and I am recovering from surgery for sarcoma and I have surgery for breast cancer coming up. My husband is not my husband anymore. We are hoping for a dementia diagnosis soon. I feel so alone as not only is he no longer the husband I knew so well but my family have no idea what it’s like living with someone who is no longer himself. Thanks for listening.
Hi @Peonypink
welcome to the forum, please know we are here for you.
We do know what caring is like and some of our members also have firsthand experience of loving a partner/spouse who is slipping away from them and no longer able to offer the soulmate support they once did.
Are you getting professional support re coping with your diagnosis and caring for your husband?

Welcome to the forum. How much support do you have to give your husband? Can I ask how old he is?
