So if anybody is looking, Husband was diagnosed with bowel in January this year. He has done 4 cycles of capec and oxy. Quickly followed by 5 weeks of radiotherapy combined with the capec. (no time off for good behaviour).
Against the odds he has continued to work full time. Mobile service technician type job. Not always convenient.

He can go as appointment from his job. Wonder if I can get a half day hol. I've not been keeping count of mine and haven't even been to all appointments. Find out tomorrow I guess. Need to be at some of these for when he has…
