  • Hi Welshy, welcome to the forum that you hoped you never wanted to be, we’re a friendly community here so expect plenty of feedback. If you say what the treatment proposed is we can most likely be able to support you both a lot better 

    i have survived chemo and radiotherapy for mine and 12 months on March 1st I am still clear so I say this for encouragement for both of you 

    I hope all goes well for him and you in support but always remember the community are here to help if we can and always always ask the Nurses and Oncologist any questions you have, they have heard it all before 

    Keep strong and you both will get through it

  • Hey, sorry I’ve not checked in for a bit. I hope you’re ok and have support available to you. I’m fairly new to all this but am supporting my husband who was diagnosed before Christmas. 
    just shout if I can help in any way
