Hi, My name is Greg. My wife just completed chemo and is in the midst of radiation for her second incident of BC (the first one was 5 years ago).

I am looking for an online support group consisting of BC husbands/boyfriends to "hang" with and discuss a myriad of topics related to this situation: everything from coping with the diagnosis, being supportive during treatment, how to cope, intimate relations during/after treatment, etc., etc.

So, if you are a BC husband/boyfriend, stop by introduce yourself, and tell us as much about you and your SO as you'd care to share.

Cheers!
Greg

Kgrennan,

Glad to help.  How are you doing?  Keep those positive vibes going your way.  hopefully the holiday season will be a pleasant distraction.  I know last year my wife was going through expansions from October-December and then had surgery 2 weeks before Christmas and still insisted on hosting the holidays at our house.  I don't know how we did it, but we did.

Hopefully you are well.

Route53, we've already begun our Christmas shopping.  I doubt we will be doing any hosting during the holidays.  Not sure how you and your wife did it, that's impressive.  For presents, I was hoping to help my wife check off some of her "bucket list" items, skydiving, a trip to disney with the kids, etc.  It's hard to plan though knowing we have surgery scheduled for Dec/Jan then radiation and more chemo.  It will be nice when we can get on more of a schedule.

 I hope everyone is well.  I wish this board was more active.

Wow..skydiving?!  That IS impressive.  We hosted, but everyone brought things over and made sure my wife did not exhaust herself.  She was still stiff at that time just two weeks after her exchange surgery.

We look back now and say, "Wow!"  We took the kids to Disney just two months later and went to Vegas for Valentines to see Elton John in concert, danced all night in a fancy night club and just celebrated life.

My wife said that checking that bucket list and filling it with more items helped to add some verve to her life and probably helped her to heal and give her something to look forward to rather than to just "check off".

As a husband we know our wives better than anyone.  All I try and do is keep her focused on "living" and not as a normal person but as someone who respects life for everything and every minute that she receives.
