Ill just do bullet points on this one. I may not respond for a bit.
hi DG1970
Welcome to our community, I hope you find it both informative and supportive.
Thank you for sharing such a challenging situation, it can be challenging when someone confides it us but then stops us talking to others who I am sure will probably have guessed anyway. We do have a guide here about talking about a cancer diagnosis and I wonder if that might be helpful.
I hope with your wife they get to find a treatment that is successful without too many issues.
Something I found quite helpful is Your feelings when someone has cancer as being able to recognize these emotions and accept them as normal and valid seems to help me find them less overwhelming.
<<hugs>>

Thanks mate. Ive read the book back to front since this has started. First thng i read atl the 1st chemo session in tears. More than I've read anything. Not afraid of sharing or hearing from others. A book can only tell me what I will feel l which i know is natural. I Need to hear from others who felt and how they tried to deal. They were there before me. Does that make sense?
