He wants the old me back and I can’t find her. The chemo brain took my filter and I speak my needs and my feelings and it’s causing issues. He’s tended to downplay my diagnosis (diagnosed in Nov 25) and so I know it’s still new but the blowups are not helpful for our relationship.
Has he been withyou when you discuss issues with your Oncologist?

You can join and contact the MMRF, IMF, HealthTree and others with your specific questions and concerns and they can direct you to the proper area.
Although I am only diagnosed with MGUS, I am going/went through this with my husband, as well as when he had prostate cancer.
Wishing you the best!☀️🌻🙏🏻
Cheryl,
Thank you for posting the many resources that are out there. When people are diagnosed, I wish doctors would give them a list like this. Dawn, I hope you find help for both of you. If you are on Dex it’s a given you are going to have issues. If you are not, just being diagnosed with cancer is an emotional roller coaster.
