  • Welcome to Cancer Chat,  Lucilla.
    I’m sorry to hear about your husband’s diagnosis.
    I can only imagine how tough this must be, especially with having no family nearby and needing to care for your children as well.
    I’m sure others in the community will be along soon to share their experiences and offer support. In the meantime, if you’d find it helpful, there’re a few pages our website that might offer some guidance and resources, one of them is called "Family, friends, carers and cancer" and the other is about Hodgkin lymphoma.
    If you’d like to talk with one of our nurses, you can reach them on 0808 800 4040, Monday to Friday, 9am to 5pm.
    I hope this helps a little,
    Best wishes to you both,
    Renata, Cancer Chat Moderator
