My partner works from home and I don't know how I would have got through chemo without him.
The main thing I would suggest is take over as much practical stuff as you can - cooking, washing, cleaning.
Don't get annoyed if she doesn't want to do anything or go anywhere, make sure she takes all medication (and at the right time) and don't be offended if she doesn't want to eat the food you cook!
I had days when I could hardly drag myself from the bed or sofa to the loo, and I was hardly scintillating conversation.
My other half basically kept out of my way unless I was obviously feeling well enough to engage, but he took all the pressure off me to "do" anything.
If you aren't able to work from home I appreciate this is a whole lot harder.
Good luck to you and your girlfriend - tell her that however bad she feels during chemo, it does get better.
Agree with oneinthree. My husband took my chemo week off work and my mum came and stayed for week two to help with the children.
He just took over the household so I didn't have to think about anything unless I wanted to. I never fancied eating anything he made, even my favourite meals, he just went and got what I fancied instead bless him. He made our bedroom as comfy as possible. And also dealt with my random meltdowns over nothing by just taking it.
I bought myself some nice things because I thought it would be good to have nice things when going through treatment. New dressing gown and slippers, moisturiser, pyjamas etc.
You sound like a fab partner, to be asking the questions. Let her know that she can totally nail this. It's not a walk in the park but is completely doable.
