Coming to terms with the fact that you are no longer in control of your body has been the hardest part of the task.
Keeping my partners spirits up has been so hard, especially when immune systems deplete, resistance is low, emotions go haywire, and tempers flare due to frustration and there seems no end to the drugs and feeling sick.
We have weathered all storms and come out fighting. Support, love and help when needed plus very broad shoulders to lean on is the best medicine you can offer, and unfortunately the only thing you can give. I found it better to not molly coddle my man and let him fend for himself in as much as he could, that way it did not take away his dignity and his pride.
