I can be there for you! I am a 68 year old diagnosed with ovarian cancer (stage 4). My husband ignores my pain and troubles and is concerned only about himself! He is 72, and although he hasn't been officially diagnosed, probably has the beginnings of dementia. Here I am with stage 4, and he wants me to wait on HIM! There are many times when I just wanted for him to bring me a drink of water, and he's too selfish to do it! I still have to cook and do all the dishes, even though the pain is so intense at times I can barely stand. I've never felt so utterly all alone. I have one good girlfriend, but she has no idea of how bad the cancer is or the side effects of chemo and pain medication. I guess you have to experience it yourself to totally comprehend it. So, yeah, with husbands like ours, who needs enemies, right? LOL!!!

Jaime, it’s time to move on. You don’t need another “”anchor” to deal with
