    Hi

    I have Leukaemia & have said to my wife she's welcome to come on here & read (either with/without me knowing).

    It is difficult to know how partners cope as we only know how we cope as the patient.

    It is best to talk things through with each other.

Help us do whatever it takes, because we’ve never been needed more.
