Sheila,
I am sorry you have to deal with this along with everything else. I noticed that all the Canadians suggested you get a volunteer driver from the Cancer Society. There must be something like that in your area.
I hope your husband is going through a phase and will soon realize that those kinds of comments are very insensitive. I would tell him so.
Although my husband has been fantastic, I have only had one "go around" with the cancer adventure. I don't know what he would be like if I had a recurrence. As wonderful as he has been, it is the women in my life who have rallied round me. I understand that this is very scary and difficult for our partners, but saying nothing would be kinder than comments about our
"former selves". I hope you are able to talk to him about how you feel. Good luck.
