My sister is in a situation very similar to yours. Her husband had his 15th radiation today, as well as his 2nd cisplatin this week. They have 2 young children. How old are your kids? I hope you have support from family & friends to help with your daily schedule. You need to make sure you are taking care of yourself physically and emotionally. I, too, am mad and sad that their life just can't go back to normal. I'm sure your husband wants that, too. So come here and vent all you want.
It's totally normal to feel angry at him for chewing tobacco. After 10+years of me badgering my husband to quit chewing tobacco, he finally did 2 years ago. Though he does not have cancer, if he were to ever get it, I can imagine how hard it would be to stop myself from saying,"I told you so"!
So when you need to get mad, get mad here! We'll help you through it!
