  • Hi Ellie,

    Welcome to Cancer Chat but sorry for the reason you find yourself here. Cancer certainly has a way of changing our lives, often witout warning. It must have come as a shock to you both. You ask how do you cope? A lot of people feel like this at first but trust me, we always seem to find a way. Everyone finds their own way of coping so its often difficult to offer advice But talking on here to complete strangers is as good a way as any. For people on here know what an emotional and stresssful time having cancer in the family can be. Hope this help. Please keep us posted as and when you have time. Sending best wishes to you both, Brian.

  • Hi Ellie

    Im so sorry that you have found it necessary to come on to these forums. Im not able to offer you any advice on how to keep your businesses going. Its bad enough having to deal with cancer never mind coping with it when you have your livelyhood and business to run.  Perhaps somebody else will come along who can advise you. 

    Im sure Brian is spot on. When we are faced with what we feel is an impossible situation most people find an inner strength we never knew we had. Im sure you will find these forums and the kind people who frequent them a great source of support

    Wishing you and your husband well
