I agree with David. To help get over this bump in the road of life, you need to get back to doing as much of what you used to do as you are physically able. Sitting on the sofa brooding about having had cancer and worrying about a reoccurence isn't healthy for either the body or the mind. You didn't say what kind of work he does, but if it is a desk job, he should get out and take that walk before he loses any more muscle. I think the sooner he gets his mind off cancer, the better he will feel.

As for you girl, take care of yourself. Take some time for yourself. If he won't go to a movie, go with friends. Go do some of the things you like to do. Maybe you can get him interested in doing them too. The boxes can wait.

Take care,
Eileen
