i am struggling
Hi and welcome to the Online Community. When someone receives a diagnosis of cancer, whether you are the patient or the partner our emotions tend go into overdrive, You overthink everything, and you, as the carer need help emotionally during these scary times.
I'm going to suggest you join our supportive Carer's only where you'll be able to chat in confidence with others about how you are feeling. Just click on the link I've created and join. I'm also tagging the Champs of the group, src60, GRANNY59Lowedal to pop along and chat.
If you want to chat to someone on the phone you could call Macmillan Support Services who offer lots of information, support, financial guidance or just someone to listen. It’s free to call 0808 808 0000. Most services are available 8am to 8pm, 7 days a week. Have a look by Clicking here to see what is available and we also have our Ask an Expert section, but do allow two to three working days for replies from our expert team.
Sending you welcoming hugs B xx
