Thanks for the update! Im so relieved to read your boyfriend is getting some help for his mental health. I was concerned how he would fare with the upcoming treatments if he wasnt quite himself. Rads isnt easy at all and easily can wear even the most resilient patient down mentally.

Please remember to take some time just for you. I know you have so much going on right now and you probably feel like you cant stop to even catch your breath. Even if its a walk around the block to clear your head, it helps. Try getting out once a week to do something to take your mind off everything, something fun that you enjoy.

Best wishes to you both.
