Your not alone.
Hi Dobey,
I was inspired by your post, thank you for sharing it. So sorry about the loss of your partner, You have been amazing to come through everything that has been thrown at you.
My partner was diagnosed with Stage 4 squamous cell carcinoma before Christmas. The way we decided to tackle things as a team was that I do all the researching including looking on this wonderful site and relaying back all the positive stories like yours and she prefers to focus totally on trying to be as healthy as she can, eating, exercise etc
Like you, she is responding to chemo well so we just try to take each day as it comes. She does get tired the same as you report - that seems to almost be a given doesn't it? We are wondering what will happen when she finishes the six cycles she is on, nobody has said much about that.
Anyway, just wanted to wish you all the very best. You are so right about every emotion. Every day we find is a bit of a rollercoaster!
Every best wish for the future
