Hi
Ever since my other half was diagnosed with TC, over two years ago, I've always felt that as long as I'm there, he'll be ok, but that when he's on his own bad things are more likely to happen.
At the time, I used to get quite panicky when I was away from him for any length of time. But even now I get quite scared when he goes away to stay.
Funnily enough, it's not just cancer that I worry about. It's as though facing up to the idea that cancer can happen to us, has made me realise about all the other things that could happen to us too. So I worry about all kinds of things.
I know it's not logical, and I never give in to it and ask him not to go, but I do find it hard to deal with and was wondering if anyone else had experienced this? And if so, if you have any good methods of dealing with it?
People keep telling me that I can't focus on all the bad things that could happen, but although that's probably very good advice, it's not particularly helpful!
