  • Hi Jerseystoma and welcome to the Cancer Chat forum.

    I'm sorry about the side effects your wife is experiencing at the moment, it sounds very tough. Hopefully some of our members who have been in this position will offer their tips and advice to you soon but you're welcome to give one of our cancer nurses a call about this as well. They're available on 0808 800 4040, Monday - Friday between 9a.m - 5p.m.

    Kind regards,
