I am coping at the moment with my partner who has been diagnosed with terminal cancer. He has been told he has one to six months. He spent 6 days in hospital, but was not given a biopsy. They said it was the same bowel cancer he had from six years ago. It has affected his liver and has also affected other parts of his body.
I would like to talk to anyone who is going through this experience to help me to cope and understand what I am going through.
Hi and welcome to the online community
I'm sorry to read that your partner has been diagnosed with cancer. I know what a worrying time this will be for you both.
I hope you don't mind me suggesting a couple of groups for you to join. The first is the bowel cancer group, where you can ask questions and share experiences with others who have this type of cancer, and the second is the supporting someone with incurable cancer group which is a safe and supportive place to share your worries as well as talk about practical subjects.
To join either or both of these groups just click on the links I've created and then choose 'join this group' on the pages that open. You can then introduce yourself and post questions after selecting 'start a discussion' and join in with existing conversations by clicking on 'reply'.
When you have a minute, it would be really useful if you could update the information you have put about your partner's journey so far in your profile as it really helps others when answering or looking for someone with a similar diagnosis. It also means that you don't have to keep repeating yourself. To do this click on your username and then select 'Edit Profile'. If you're not sure what to write you can take a look at mine by clicking on my username.
Sending a supportive ((hug))
