My wife was diagnosed with lobular carcinoma in situ in 1997. The path since has been made more comfortable by the inestimable NHS oncology services. Several recurrences later, two courses of chemotherapy (FEC and docetaxel) and a mastectomy, she is now treated with trastuzumab, pertuzumab, fulvestrant. and denosumab. This cocktail has, thus far, kept her well and the recurrences at bay. All the repeat performances have been localised, fortunately. My role is to provide as much support as I can and to ferry her around to and from the various appointments, and also, of course, to love her unconditionally.
Hi Motcouk and a warm welcome to the Online Community. I see you've joined the Breast cancer group so I would suggest you also copy and paste this into a new thread on the Breast cancer group.
I myself have a different type of cancer but I've alerted some of the Community Champs of the breast cancer group to come along and say hello - , GodWilling lesleyhelen ronstar
You brought a tear to my eye with the last few words of your post, I'm so pleased to read of your unfailing support.
Sending hugs, b xx

Great support…same here.I feel very lonely sometimes and can’t imagine life without my husband.the only person I know in this country.
he is diagnosed with stage 4 small cell lung cancer few months ago and given 1 year prognosis.
after 3 cycles of chemo ,tumour has not responded and kept growing.
devastating.lonely and feeling very drained .
Thank you each for the warm welcome. I wish you all the best of good fortune in return. This is a pernicious disease which cannot serve any purpose to humanity.
Whatever cancer throws your way, we’re right there with you.
We’re here to provide physical, financial and emotional support.
