I agree. When I was going through chemo for colon cancer, I just wanted to be left alone. My husband supported me a lot cause I had to deal with colostomy bag and if he didn't I would have the feeling to want to kill myself, it was that disgusting and awful and depressing. THe chemo in itself is a very very trying time. You don't know how much hair you're going to lose, the nausios feelings, the thoughts about dying, uselessness, etc.....
I felt many times like I was totally useless to my husband and my family.
