    Chris, am so sorry to hear your news about your husband. My partner was diagnosed aged 47 and he went from being very active to a semi- invalid very quickly when he started the chemo. I felt exactly the same and know what you mean about a "normal" day. We both had to deal with our new normal...

    Hi Sue, my partner had the surgery described and he was classed as stage 3. The op is challenging and there is a lot of pain afterwards, so you do need to be discussing the pain meds with the doctors and nurses- absolutely no false heroics.

    There is no doubt that chemo is hell, when Ray was undergoing chemo he could just about manage to get up, the fatigue was so debilitating, along with the constant nausea. Have you tried the supplement drinks, they contain 400 cal and 20 grms of protein each , so at least by taking two of these a day...

    W . Have you ever seen me wearing a watch? W means watch. No watch. Roger has always been my watch. If I needed to know what the time was, I simply turned to him and asked. He’d say, time for you to get a watch and I’d say, I don’t need one. I have you! Then he’d say how late...
