" Hello Mayla,
I understand your concerns. Can you give us more information? Like, when was he diagnosed and what has the doc said so far. You are in the right place to find answers as this website is full of support. My husband has just started his chemo treatment and is doing well so far, of course we're only into day two but we were both very anxious in the beginning needing answers. I found a lot of info on the MMRF website (I googled it) as well as questions to ask. Just hang in there, answers are out there. :-) "
