    I am in the same position, we have just found out treatment is no longer working and clinical trials are the only option for him. Its so isolating, no one can relate to what you’re going through and you feel you have to be strong but inside the uncertainty and worries seem endless. Just remember to look after you as well and talk to your friends/family try not to bottle things up.
