Hi seagulls well you have certainly been through the mill > and looking after your mum must be very hard for you . I admire your tenacity .And I know how hard it is being able to look after yourself. And its very hard not being able to trust your other half with looking after you . Must admit I have much the same problems. I feel I am the only person I can rely on .You are very brave supporting him financially and 6 years sober is quite an accomplishment on his part, but the fear must always be that he can relapse at any time. I dont know how you coped with the abuse, somehow we manage to get through whatever life throws at us but its very hard, As to the cancerMine was a recurrence or new cancer they couldent tell They also said that radiotherapy can cause cancer after a long time , but that the treatment will be the same . I suppose now its a case of waiting to see what the treatment may be. Somehow you must take time to look after yourself even if its only for the odd hour best wishes suzan
