Hi

Less than one minute read time.

I have just joined the community, because I feel very alone and helpless when trying to cope with my partner's cancer.  His cancer was diagnosed in June and it has been a hard few months.  I need to know that how I feel is "normal".  I need to know that what I am doing is right, because sometimes I feel that everything I do is wrong. 

I lost my mum and my best friend to cancer.  And I really don't know how I can go through this again.

    dear sheenakay,

    I am so sorry to hear about your partner's diagnosis, and that your world has been turned completely upside down. so many of us on this site have, and do, feel exactly the same, so you have come to the right place for support.

    What kind of cancer does he have? There are many threads which deal with more specific issues, and it may be that you will find more appropriate support on one of those.

    Please post back and let us know - some of us who have been around for quite a while may be able to point you in the right direction.

    Hi Sheena, I am feeling the same as you, Mum has lung cancer since finding out in March its been one emotional roller coaster ride,  My brother passed away 4 years ago and I feel like ive just got over loosing him and now bang another load of heartbreak, I live over three hundred miles from mum so have sort of moved in with her and come back home for a long weekend every month to see my boyfriend, he has been supportive but doesnt understand how sad I feel at times.  take care & kind thoughts to all of you out there.  Janey Xx
