Gardener's question time (1)

Er, as in I have a question...

I think one of my major squash plants, that on the face of it was looking bold, brash and exciting has been putting on a very brave face.  Today it opened up and revealed that its stem is failing it. Shrivelled and brown, I just don't know what has happened. My only guesses are a lack of water or a truly evil slimy nasty s***

I fear the worst, but is there any chance to save this plant?

I only feel hapless because some people make it look easy to grow 10 ft marrows or a banquet of greens whereas my courgettes got nabbed by killer slugs and I only got one raspberry. So tips and stories from people less hapless than I are more than welcome.
