Why do I feel so alone with cancer even though I have support?

I have to say I have family my gf of 12 years that I have around me and I am blessed to have them but at same time I feel really alone because they can't understand the feelings of facing death, the unbearable pain that never stops the Drs that just seem like they don't care bad insurance and the anger I know and I understand so please if anyone wants to talk I'm here might not know what to say but I will listen

That feeling of isolation despite having loving people around is something many in the cancer community understand deeply. The unique challenges of living with serious illness create experiences that can feel impossible to share, even with those closest to us. This community exists because connecting with others who truly understand these feelings can provide comfort that's different from, but just as valuable as, the support from family and friends. Please reach out by scrolling down the page from the Home Screen of the app to find the Ask Outcomes4Me box to get in touch for a more personal conversation and connect with our clinical care experts, and remember that the 988 hotline is always available if you need immediate support.

Makes me soooo grateful for the VA care I receive. The Oregon VA facility I go to has been spectacular in their care and follow up care. Im truly sorry for the insurance and doctors being so seemingly uncaring.

Thank you for commenting I know everyone has a different symptoms but can relate on the everyday struggle to be honest I really don't know if there is a God I with everything in my soul I hope there is but I'm a true sceptic I can't make my self say without a doubt but I promise I will talk to God if anyone is listening I will say a prayer for everyone out there that knows the struggle of any kind that if only a few minutes have complete absolute peace in their heart and body I don't know any of you but I love everyone of you I'm sorry for anyone that is dealing with the emotions that comes with this I had to face death to truly appreciate life thank you all for listening to me rambling
