Thank you all for your kind words and encouragement, it seems that everything comes at the same time, as I said my wife ,Dawn, is doing radiation at the moment and her dad is now in Palliative care with a short time left he has stomach cancer, this is so hard for her and for me, he is such a good man coming to this country from Yugoslavia in 1970 with a wife and 10 and a 12 year old child.I have known this family since 1978 when we meet as teenagers,and marrying in 1983,I could never imagine me as a family man in my late 30s moving to the other side of the world without knowing any English at all, but thats what he did for a better life for his kids,to watch the life in him fade is hard.My wife has shown great strength over the last 7 months something I see in the ladys on this forum.

Welcome Peter. Having a supportive partner and family makes so much difference. Your wife is a lucky lady. It sounds like she has gone through most of hr treatment. She will be very tired for sometime to come. It takes a long time to feel semi normal again, or what we call our new normal, we are never the same again. I have met some amazing people via this forum. It has been a huge support. We have lots of laughs too :wave:

Hi Peter...and welcome!

Good news that your wife's chemo regime has now finished and I hope she does well with her rads. She may like to join the forum herself or at least read some of the posts, especially "Members Suggestions On What Helped Them Through Radiation". Its good to chat with others who have gone through the same thing.

Its great that you have the support of your family.

Any questions that you have...just ask. The forum members are always ready to help whenever they can.

New to the forum and would like to say Hi ,I am the partner in this adventure ,the guy who is on the front line but I not alone as we have two boys (21 and 23)and thier girl friends who have been wonderfull.
my wife was diagnoised in June with a left masectomy in July and Chemo starting in August finnishing in December and now we are into radiation with 3 down and 17 to go.Her hair is growing back now and she looks a bit like a punk.
I have been looking over the forum for a some time and decided to share my story I have been impressed with the strength of the ladys and their partners in seeing the lighter side of cancer,I may not post to often but will be keeping an eye at the posts. :wave:
