Wow spot on. I went from being friends with anybody who I crossed paths with to 1 true friend. Past friends sometimes let me know about events, only to see on social media or ring them to find out they did have that catch-up or weekend away but forgot to ask me when they picked a date. The 1:00minute mark hits it on the head. Partners and friends can’t deal with seeing us struggle. I say “f**k try being the one living with this full time”. My close friend and family know they just let me roll around or swear and then they say “need a hand?” If I grunt at them they just go “OK”😂😂
I'm 45 and its quite early stages. I cant have a committed relationship because its completely unfair to drag someone into something without a future. I completely understand why my wife left. Also I'm really forgetful and I get depressed and frustrated with brain fog. I have tried but Its a lot to pile on someone, and I just ended up feeling guilty. I have come to the conclusion that I need to be happy with myself and on my own.
I am 45 as well and I am about to go through a divorce. My husband says he can't take care of sick people. Thing is I was okay with him having diabetes, hypertension,overweight when I met him over 11years ago. Two years ago he had a heart attack and I was there for him, I was diagnosed and had a miscarriage that same year and he could not care less..Oh well God is still Goof
When first diagnosed (1992) I lost my marriage and my job.
I'm sorry

If it’s early stages get HSCT, it’s not too late for you, and you’re still young enough to pull through ❤
