    Other half passed - we were together for 32 years. I can't see the point in anything, I just cry.

    Good to talk (hopefully) - I decided to stop treatment after scan showed my melanoma cancer wasn't active. I'm struggling to cope with the anxiety - any ideas?

    Neck cancer. Radiotherapy for 2 weeks. I'm struggling so badly. My mouth is so sore. I don't think I can continue with another 4 weeks of daily treatment.
