My husband finished chemo for Stage 3 colon cancer about 6 months ago. He’s NED, which is wonderful, but his mood has been so low. He seems withdrawn, irritable, and resistant to talking about it or seeking any support (like therapy or support groups). He just wants to “move on,” but he clearly hasn’t. It’s hard seeing him like this and hard feeling helpless. Any other caregivers experience this? How did you handle it?
Thanks Karen. Finding support for myself is key, I know. Maybe framing counseling differently could help. Appreciate you sharing. Hope your husband’s immunotherapy is going well.
Thank you, Patricia. It has its ups and downs. Take care of yourself.
