Hi Laura,

Sorry to hear of your husbands diagnosis,  my son is in the same position, he's 37 with 2 children under 4. To say they were shocked is an understatement. He has had 4 rounds of flot which he managed quite well nausea was abit of a problem and lost some facial hair but not completely which came back when he finished his 4 rounds. He has found the mental side hard to deal with as he got quite emotional during chemo. He unfortunately cannot have the op as his has spread to his spine but has just started a 2nd round of flot. My advice would be ask your oncologist everything you need to know and write the questions down as sometimes you forget when you get in there. Just be there for each other and talk out any worries don't bottle it up.

Good luck to you both on your journey and I'm here if you have any questions and will try to answer if I can .

Hi Meltra44,

As a mum of sons I really feel for you too. It's such an overwhelming diagnosis. I won't repeat my reply to Laura but I wanted to say your support to your son and his young family will be invaluable. It's hard being the onlooker. If we can help with any questions or you want to just rant please feel free this is a safe, non judgemental group of OC patients and their family.
