Introducing myself

Hi everyone, I’m Helena. My husband has had cancer twice. He’s currently in hospital recovering from stage 3 bowel cancer surgery. He was diagnosed in Dec 24 and has had radiotherapy and chemotherapy for the  last six months before two surgeries. In 2020 he had a grade 3 brain tumour and following my surgery he had a year of TMZ chemotherapy. Rather gutting to have got past y try he five year mark only to develop a completely unrelated non metastatic cancer somewhere else. He’s 44, healthy other than the obvious stuff and has a phenomenal attitude to it all. I’m the worrier in the relationship. Anyway looking forward to seeing what support this chat can offer.
