Hi CplusB
I’m so sorry at your news and the support of one’s spouse is such a brilliant tonic. Something that I’ve been blessed with. Also a WhatsApp support group of friends meant that I had lots of encouragement and only had to update my story once.
My journey isn’t quite the same as your husband’s but had to face treatment for bowel and liver cancer. If there are miracles to be wrought, the experts will make them happen through the wide range of treatment options that have been developed.
And you’ve come to the right place for support and experience.
Whatever cancer throws your way, we’re right there with you.
We’re here to provide physical, financial and emotional support.
