My husband is 74 and diagnosied with myolema and Cardiac amyloidosis he continues to work as a roofer x 5 days a week and work out at the gym x 4 times a week he is on his fourth cyle of chemo noside effects from this what so ever but I am concerned
I can appreciate that your husband's diagnosis is a concern even though he seems to be physically active and getting on alright with his treatment. I think any cancer diagnosis inevitably causes stress and uncertainty which a lot of people find challenging to cope with. I don't think there is a right way to handle this, but taking things one step at a time, although a simple idea can be useful. For now, your husband seems to be able to tolerate the treatment well which is a good thing and hopefully his doctors will be happy with the outcome.
