Cancer. Covid.

Just awaiting my mastectomy but husband went car racing and five days later started a cough. I begged him to take a test. “ it’s just a cough, I’ve been double jabbed” …
Fast forward five or so days and I lose my sense of taste and small. Annoying little cold but no more.
So my November 15 th op is now on hold till at least the new year and I’m just so angry. It’s taken such a lot of positive thoughts for me to get to this stage. The final insult was he didn’t say gosh, sorry. Hope it wasn’t me. Yikes. Just nothing except when can he get a. PCR test. We got there and he pushed in front of me to get there first!! Yes, I’m hurt. And that’s why I’m whingeing. Apologies.

So very sorry you have been treated this way at this terribly difficult stage in your life. You should be being cossetted (if you can stand being cossetted!) not treated as irrelevant. It sounds like a pattern of behaviour. Put yourself first for the next few months. Have you others around you? Others have posted good advice here.x

That's incredibly selfish behaviour. Did you ask him not to go? I think that you need to talk to him about how you are feeling. It might make you feel better at any rate. Hope you are getting some support from friends and family. X

I'm so sorry he didn't do more to protect you physically and mentally at such an awful time in your life.

I hope you have people around you that can give you that support.
