  • Hi Donna, welcome to Cancer Chat. I'm really sorry to hear about your husband's diagnosis - what an incredibly tough time this must be for you both.

    I'm glad you've found us, and I hope you are able to talk to other people on here with similar experiences. If you'd like to join in other discussions, please feel free to search the forum and find conversations in that way. Someone else may well be along soon to reply to your post here, too.

    I also just wanted to mention that we have a team of cancer nurses on-hand, should you wish to talk to someone in confidence. You can reach them on (freephone): 0808 800 4040, or you can post questions in our Ask the Nurses section of the forum.  

    Has your husband been given a date for the next round of chemo? Wishing you both all the very best in the weeks to come - do come back and let us know how he's getting on if you feel able to.
