Hi everyone.
just need a bit of advice. My wife was diagnosed with stage 3 breast cancer and since then she had a mastectomy. She has recovered well but now she has started chemotherapy which has her bed ridden. I have been reading up on how to manage the side affects of chemo to make it a bit easier for her.
is there a tactful way to approach this conversation as I don't want it to sound like I'm pushing her too hard but I know it will benefit her long term. I support her with day to day tasks but it's hard seeing her struggle and all I want to do is help.
any advice would be great.

When my wife was on chemotherapy we were given a number to call if we had concerns about side effects - in our case that was mostly about developing a bi of a fever though at one point they phoned her after a scan because they found a lung had collapsed - still that was fixable.
Carers often talk about feeling of helplessness watching our loved ones going trough treatment and many end up having to learn how to look after ourselves too. Hope you are finding some time for you too.
<<hugs>>
