Hello - New to blogs, Forums and Cancer

Hi Hope - First welcome to the site - just sorry you need to join us.

You will find information, care and support on here from  people who do understand - we have been there or are there now ourselves. We are a group of Patients, Carers, Relatives and Friends that have all been affected by Cancer in some way.

You will make friends on here that may well be friends for life - feel free to ask questions, look for answers, Rant  when you need to - we all do that at times.

Not sure if you have found the chat room yet ? most hours of the day and night you will find a mixed group that are there to help, offer a willing ear or just have a laugh - we do a lot off that on here !

You will find help on here for your Partner from people who have experience of his cancer and will be more than willing to discuss thier treatment and experience.

Welcome to the Mac Family

Hugs

John, celiswan and Graeme, thank you, thank you, your kindness , like the kindness of all strangers makes me cry. Graeme, my beloved P has diffuse cell B NHL. I suspect at level 3 or 4 but I don't know. Had his first RCHOP about 10 days ago but became very ill at home. First presented with breathlessness which became worse until I had to watch him all night to check that he didn't stop breathing. Now he is in hosp where they have drained unbelievable quantities of fluid from his lungs and abdomen and thankfully his breathing is more normal.

We work from home and have no children and have lived in our own blissful little world so I am finding it very difficult to let friends in and I want to spare everyone any pain, so I am keeping people away.

I think that's why I can see myself becoming addicted to this site as it comforts me so much to know you are all out there somewhere.

Best love to all of you,

Hope.
