Thank you to everyone that shared their story and gave advice, it helped me a lot. My husband starts his second round of chemo on Thursday , he handled it really well last time so fingers crossed this time. Our children are coping well also. It has been good to know that this site is here for support. We are making sure we stay positive and have lots of laughs.
