Hello Sue, 

I replied to your post from earlier this evening with some links to information about the specific type of cancer that you said Ralph has and also giving you the contact number for our team of nurses in case you'd like to talk to them. 

I'm glad to see that you have an appointment booked with the consultant for next week. Hopefully that will give you some answers to some of the questions that you have. 

It's easy to sometimes forget things we want to ask when sat in front of the Dr so sometimes I know people have suggested writing down questions to take to the appointment with them. You might also want to take a notebook with you to the appointment so that you can write down any information you want to remember at the appointment. 

You mention that the children are being supportive in helping you to look after him at the moment. Please do feel free to come and post here any time you need to Sue. We do have quite a number of ladies here who have been in your situation and I'm sure that they will be along soon to offer their words of support and advice. 

Keep in touch and let us know how the appointment on Tuesday goes. 

Best wishes, 
Jenn
