  • Welcome to Cancer Chat ClareB30 although I'm sorry for the reason it brings you here.

    I can't imagine how tough this must be for you at the moment but if you can try and take each day at a time. I know that will be easier said than done but if you worry too much about the future you won't be able to enjoy the time you have with your husband in the here and now in the run up to the arrival of your little one. I know there are a few members on the forum who are and have been in the same situation as yourself and hopefully they will reply to offer their support and let you know how they get on.

    I hope that treatment is available for your husband and that the rest of your pregnancy goes well.

    Best wishes to you both,
