Dear Cindy

I can understand how devastated you are feeling. I can also understand the dread your husband felt. There were times when I felt I couldn't face the mask and the aloneness in the treatment room but I kept going, counting off the days one by one. I had one long break for Easter in the middle of my treatment and benefited from that rest.

Your husband may feel that he let the 'team' down by not having his treatment. Let it go and stay with him for the remaining treatments. I'm sure he will talk about it when he is able - you seem to have such a strong partnership.

This journey is so difficult for everyone involved. Your husband is fortunate to have you by his side.

Love from Helen
