I'm also at the end of my tether but it's with my husband. He was diagnosed via video last August and was put on memantine earlier this year. He has CLL ( a blood cancer) and was diagnosed with Melanoma a couple of months back. He's being treated for both diseases by chemo , tablets and intravenous. His condition seems to be getting worse and I've just been accused of bullying him and loving the fact that I'm doing it. He wanted to come to the garden centre with me and I asked him to put on socks before we went. Was taking ages so I went upstairs to find him stark naked about to take a shower....."That's what you told me to do!" Anyway, got him dressed with a lot of help from me repeating instructions and physically putting his socks on. Went to centre, wanted ice cream but didn't want to go back in to get it. Sat in back of car on way home. Got in and he went to put a plastic bottle in bin, I reminded him which bin and he brought the bottle back in to the house and that's when I was accused of bullying. Told me he can manage on his own, so I've told him he could get on with it. Feel a bit guilty reacting like that, but I've waited on him hand and foot and it just boiled over today. There is no conversation, no physical contact, no empathy for how I might be feeling, so, so sad.
Am going to contact GP and the doctor who diagnosed him next week to see what, if anything can be done especially about the deterioration. No one seems to want to know after a person's been diagnosed do they?
Thank you to anyone who has read this.......any advice gratefully received.
