My wife's breast cancer has returned. I've got PTSD/depression. I do what I can for her. I feel like *I'm* dying and no-one would care.?

    If you have PTSD then why aren't you getting help for it? This isn't a question about cancer, it's one about your mental problems. Grow up and put on your big boy underwear.

    Talk to a doctor, preferably a family doctor about everything that is going on for both of you. Ask for a referral for support.

    Are you seeking treatment for your PTSD?

    You may feel like you are dying but the only way your illness will kill you is by your own hand.

    There is a real possibility your wife could die despits anything she does to fight to stay alive.

    Contact the cancer Society and see what kind of help they offer

    also go see your pastor and tell him your situation

    Do you have family who can give you support ?

    If so ask them ;; they will understand your situation

    I feel sorry for you because you are going through a really tough time

    but you will receive help

    You and your wife will be in my prayers

    If someone would care, would that make you happy? Do you want flowers or something? Or a postcard that says "getwell soon"?
