  • Hello Claire22,

                           Sorry to read of your husbands diagnosis,and hope his treatment can have a positive effect.As someone who has experienced a deal of radio and chemotherapy l can confirm that it really does give your body an awful lot to contend with,and utter exhaustion is the norm for the course. Just be sure to update your husbands treatment team about the effects, to allow to assess if they are able to make adjustments to the regime.In my case l had to soldier through a few years of abject misery,but it was worth it to emerge out the other side to enjoy what l regard as my second life.

                                                                                                                                        l hope both of you are able to do the same in due course,

                                                                     David
