MI + cancer = 😵😵😵
Mutual support = yay
@Former-Member , @RMG perhaps you would like to share here, you are not alone. My husband with bipolar ii was diagnosed with pancreatic cancer in March this year. He had surgery, came home, was readmitted to hospital as he got an infection. He is now home and I am struggling to get a routine going.

After a rough night, the lost was found this morning, his brother who is visiting inadvertently picked up Mr Darcy's phone by mistake. Fortunately it switches on automatically in the morning so I was able to ring and it was located in the guest room.

Mr Darcy's anxiety has been ramping up. His night time crying continues unabated.
I am looking into getting some help through Carers Australia "Your caring way" program in relation to future employment needs. Facing the reality of my own future needs is emotionally difficult.
