Hi Ducatimad
I'm a patient too, just wanted to offer you my support.
To be honest cancer can be a very lonely place whether you have people around or not but I'm sure you will find everyone here very supportive.
I also found the MacMillan nurse a great help. She will pop round for a chat, when I need to see her. You can ask your GP to refer you.
The great thing about this site, is that you can talk about cancer if you want to, but you can also talk about other stuff too, which can be very refreshing.
So sorry about your diagnosis, isn't life crap sometimes. I live alone too, but when I was going through treatment I had help from a very good friend. Have you any treatment planned? I hope you have someone that can pop in and give you some practical help. To be honest when I was having treatment, although I appreciated all the help sometimes I was glad to be alone, to rest, sleep, curl up on the sofa with my dog, not have to talk about cancer or hospital visits or just have a bloody good cry. You know where we are if you need to talk, not everyday is a bad day. Best wishes. Lisa x
