Thanks Folks.  I shall pass on the best wishes to her. Chemo now hopefully commences on Friday, so fingers are crossed that this time it won't be put back again.

Thanks again everyone. 8)
Cheers.

Oh dear, Paul, what scary and trying times for you and Yvonne.  Give her our very best wishes and we'll all be hoping for a speedy response to the chemo for her. 
There are any number of us you can pm for a moan or drop into the Forum for some virtual hugs.....and I hope you'll take the chance to do that when you need some "solidarity" with your chums here.

Hang in there, Pal, for Yvonne and for yourself - so frightening when illness strikes a loved one, but you'll get through it.  :-* :-*

Paul, I know exactly what you are going through.  I had the same experience from April to November last year. In that time I had about 50 trips either visiting the hospital or ferrying my wife up for tests and chemo.  It puts things in perspective.  All you can do is be supportive and keep a positive attitude.  Thankfully, a year later, things seem to be OK.  My thoughts are with you and there is daylight at the end of the tunnel.

Hi Paul,

I wish you and your wife well. I've been through the same thing, 10 years ago. Chemo, Radiotherapy, Tamoxifen for three years...but I'm still kicking. Yes, my family suffered too - at arms length. All the best. :) :) :)

Just the first time back on the forum since 2 weeks and reading your awful message here, Paul.
I wish your wife and you all the best and hope you both will be able to think positive. We'll keep our fingers crossed too!!

Thank you again all for your best wishes.  You have no idea how much they all mean right now.  Chemo is definitely supposed to be tomorrow, there should be no further delay thankfully.  Fingers crossed now as to it's efficacy. :-\  We live in hope.

Thanks again.
Cheers.

Dear Paul, I'm thinking of you both, especially of Yvonne and sending best wishes for successful treatment.
Please give her my love. It's been a stressful year for some Forumists and for my part, I hope next year will be much happier. But I hoped that at the end of last year too. It's said that we're not given more to handle than we can cope with but I find it hard to see why some people have so much thrown at them.
