Do you have any tips or advice that may help others support those who are going through treatment, including with any ongoing side effects?

Always carry clean underwear soap etc with you.

Please tell us how their treatment impacted your life the most.

It affected me as I became my Husband's carer which I did not mind but he found it very embarrassing at times. It made it difficult going out at times as he was so concerned about having an accident.

Thinking about your own wellbeing, what has helped you to cope, and where have you gone to find support? What tips and advice would you give to others?

I just kept going and did not go anywhere for support. I just did not wanted to leave my Husband on his own.
