Hi there and thanks for getting in touch

I'm so sorry to hear about your husbands situation and how his heart has been affected by the chemotherapy. This unfortunately can occasionally happen but I appreciate how this must be impacting you right now and what an anxious time it must be for you both.

I understand you wanting to reach out to others who may be in or have previously been in something similar to you but i'm afraid this may not be possible. Everyone's story is different and it is often impossible to compare.

It is a natural emotion to be worried even if treatment was going to plan, which sadly it isn't which must be making things feel far worse. The road called cancer can be gruelling and unpredictable for both patients and their loved ones and it is scary not knowing quite what might be around the corner.

At times like this people often find it best to try and take each day as it comes rather that look too far ahead in the future. At this present time there is no more information anyone can give you until the heart scan has been done, then the doctors can review this before deciding the next steps regarding treatment options. So i'm afraid as worrying as it must be try and sit tight for now.

I hope you have some good support around you during this time to share this with and help you out.

Do get back if we can be of any more help to you. You are also welcome to call the nurse helpline on 0808 800 4040, Monday-Friday 9-5 if you prefer to talk over the phone.

All the best

Naomi
