How do you cope when breast cancer spreads and you feel alone?

I'm sorry for all you are going through- my spouse of 28 years acts the same and I feel completely overwhelmed and lost too. Talking and venting it out does help a little. That's all I got. Umm this is a struggle and I'm just trying to keep my shit together as long as possible. I wish you all the very best. Focus on you as best you can and keep hanging on

Good afternoon, Amanda. I was diagnosed with CRC this past October, had a localized mass removed along with several lymph nodes, and am currently in chemotherapy. I'm kinda in a similar situation. My son, who is my primary care person, is very attentive concerning my treatment and knows what's going on but leaves ma alone for the most part. This recovery is a personal journey and I'm guessing your husband is doing the same. I know he's here when needed and am trying to work through this. You could probably say the same. Stay strong. This sucks... I know.

Feeling overwhelmed and isolated during cancer treatment is incredibly common, and those emotions are completely valid given everything happening right now. Many couples struggle to communicate about cancer because partners often process fear and stress differently - sometimes what looks like checking out is actually someone feeling helpless and not knowing how to help.
