  • Hi Abr1,

    Welcome to Cancer Chat. I'm very sorry to hear of the situation with your husband - this must be a lot to deal with and I'm sure it is incredibly difficult.

    I can see you have also posted elsewhere on the forum and received some supportive replies from others, which is great.

    We are always here whenever you may need it. It's a supportive community and I hope that it can be helpful for you.

    Take care of yourself and keep speaking to others around you for support as much as possible - including friends and family, people on this forum, and also those involved in your husband's care.

    Wishing you all the best,

    Ben
