Home after induction...

Hi Rob, this is great news.

The apprehension you are feeling (after asking my wife) is normal and you just need to enjoy and take each day as it comes........ and don’t stress this.....so my wife says.

Avoiding Infections is important so do keep an eye for any signs and if required call it into the chemo support number you should have been given.

Relax and enjoy this tone as the next cycle will be along far to quickly.

Hi Rob

Yes I feel you... I bet my husband can fully understand as I was the patient (diagnosed in 2015) 

To be honest from the patient perspective I had zero expectations, just being at home was enough.  I was in as much of a whirl/blur as my husband.  I had been very ill so was pretty weak, how has your wife been? My first cycle took 5 weeks too.  I am sure you are right in that you are feeling pressure, exhaustion, emotion and holding everything together with the kids too... 

Try to take one day at a time and have no expectations, we didn't do anything, just watched TV, family visited but that was about it because I was too exhausted.  

There is so much to take in and deal with after a diagnosis like this so be kind to yourself.  Let me know if there is anything else I can help with.

Have you been given any information yet on the various things that apply?

Warm wishes

Anna
