Hi my partner has jus been diagnosed with cancer so ive joined here for help and advice
My husband was diagnosed in August. Surgery isn't an option because the cancer has spread too far. 8th cycle of treatment is due on 8th after a week's delay. The side effects on his mouth have been brutal and he's had a cold. It was all made worse because he hurt his back lifting a heavy box. However, we're going away to France in a couple of weeks on a skiing trip we booked back in May, before he had any symptoms.
Quality of life is what the oncologist told us they are aiming for.
Whatever cancer throws your way, we’re right there with you.
We’re here to provide physical, financial and emotional support.
