I have recently been diagnosed with DCIS with possible micro invasion--Consultant advocates surgery--WLE. My circumstances are complicated/difficult as my partner is about to start palliative treatment for his 4th cancer. We have no close family and therefore are reliant on each other. After discussion with the Consultant I am delaying treatment for 3 months (he said it would not be detrimental) untill we see how my partner copes with his treatment. I am though worried how we will cope on a practical basis. Not driving we could manage and we could order food on line, but I have been told changing the bed linen and clothes washing, lifting,hands cannot go over head height. So my question is how does one cope when they are on their own with no support
