  • Hello Arm and welcome to Cancer Chat even though I'm sorry for the reason that brings you here.

    After reading your post I thought of two links from our web page I'd like to share with you: in one you'll find information on how to cope with eating and drinking difficulties and the other one is about fatigue, I hope reading this information will help you to help your partner, even if just a little.

    Also, if you feel like speaking to someone on the phone, our cancer nurses are available Monday - Friday between 9am and 5pm and you can reach them by calling this telephone number: 0808 800 4040.

    Warm wishes to both you and your partner,
