Hi and welcome to the Online Community but sorry that you had to find us. I am especially sorry to hear about your husbands cancer diagnosis. Over my 22 years I have had rather a lot of chemotherapy, I did ok with it so let’s hope your husband is the same.
A cancer diagnosis in the family can be very challenging but talking with others who are walking the same type of cancer journey will help you navigate this difficult time.
The community is made up of various support groups so do look through the list of Cancer specific groups where you can talk with others who have walked or are walking this cancer journey. Once you find the best group(s) for his cancer
