Re: Fatigue, and the Cancer Card.
As far as I'm concerned you can "play the cancer card" for as long as you feel the need. Nobody would choose to have to do so in the first place!
You have a big list of concerns and burdens that are overwhelming you in your fatigued state
I remember when my oncologist didn't think I warranted a temporary handicapped parking permit. But I knew how exhausted I would get just walking across a larger parking lot and I was angry that she didn't appreciate that aspect of treatment. ( I got the permit from my GP)
Your husband might be having his own issues and is taking out his fears/ frustrations inappropriately on you. I think sometimes people feel we should bounce back faster than is realistic. Maybe he is worried that you're not all "cured" and your old self
And for Gods sake, somebody better cut that yard before the snakes invade!!
Keep the faith
