Physical relationship with MDS

Hi, my other half was diagnosed with MDS last year. He is 49 years old and we have been together for 2.5 years.
He has low risk MDS but is not responding to treatment. He has had the drip treatment and is now currently undergoing injections directly in the bone marrow.
As a couple we like to engage in the physical aspect (without going into too much detail) of a relationship but he is struggling to which is very difficult for him and he finds it's incredibly upsetting. What happens when we do try is he becomes very light-headed and is overcome with a severe headache and nausea which can last a couple of days. So trying to work around that, he doesn't reach an orgasm but even stopping before that happens is proving to make him unwell now because of the exertion.
Has anyone experienced the same issues? Is there a way around this or anything we can try to make things a bit easier?
xx
