You sound like a really wonderful person and you and your husband are in a difficult situation. So here goes... Here is an excerpt from a lymphoma patient posted elsewhere on the web about his treatment: "The chemo can cause anxiety, depression and insomnia for some people. I had all three of those side effects. I thought at times I would jump out of my skin." So it is possible that the chemo is partly responsible for your husbands behavior. Also, he forgetting about the drugs, just being sick like that is scary. None of that excuses abusive behavior, but I think you should be more forgiving of his behavior than otherwise. On the other hand, you aren't going to be able to be very supportive if he is constantly tearing you down. So you have to put your foot down, in a loving way, and make time for yourself when you can recharge your batteries. If he is being verbally abusive maybe you should view his outbursts like he is sick child and either ignore them, or just roll your eyes and tell him that you know that the medicine is making him act really annoying. If you are afraid he will hurt you, that is a different matter, and then you have to ballance helping him with helping yourself.
