  • Just remember you're not alone. There's lots of people on this site thinking of you. Have you been offered counselling? A lot of oncology units have counsellors, not just for the patient but for the family as well. I found a couple of sessions very helpful, its good to chat to a stranger, you can weep and moan as much as you like!!

    No counselling yet as it's hard to leave wife on own for to long and can't really talk on phone as she is always here with me and don't won't to talk in front of her it's not nice.

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