My husband was diagnosed with plasmablastic lymphoma in August and is on intensive chemo. 96 hours in hospital then out until the counts are up then back in. He is responding very well and his 30 cm tumour has almost gone. However he will get a stem cell transplant and that has scared me. I've been told the risks and the time it takes...good grief it is all feeling like a terrible dream. I am working although not as well as I ought to be as I need to be at his side quite a lot. I have self diagnosed a low mood in me and think I need some help with it. We are coming into the busy time for church ministers and I am also about to go into the toughest time with my husband . The transplant will probably happen after Christmas but the chemo still goes on and the one before transplant is going to be harsher than the harsh ones he already gets. I feel very lonely and need the courage to go and ask for time off. How have any of you coped with this journey and worked?
