Sheila I'm sorry you're feeling this sadness right now, is it possible all these meds have you down too and maybe you're seeing things blacker than they really are?? My hubby was great during my treatments, I don't drive so he took off work (self employed) to be with me driving ...cooking or whatever. However since I'm not two years out he acts like this never happened and at times is selfish and indifferent which leaves me feeling alone too and concerned for the future. he has said "this cancer does'nt just effect you" and of course he's right. I think maybe your hubby is just dealing with this his own wayand possibly does'nt realize how hurtful his words can be to you. I agree with the girls if you can get someone else to drive then do so but if not ...if it was him that had the cancer you'd drive him and gladly lose time from work etc and the lower income so don't feel too bad about how hard done by he thinks he is. He may have deeper thoughts and feelings too about your illness that he does'nt discuss and I hope this passes soon as you don't need the extra stress.
Be a little selfish here and think of YOU right now and stop feeling guilty!!
