  1. I just signed up desperately in need of advice or if anyone that has been through the same thing.  I need guidance please. He's going through chemotherapy... He's only 33 . I'm 28.  We both have one child between us from a previous relationship. I just found out today . I don't know if I should tell him.  Should I tell him ? What should I do ... Do I have an abortion? I'm just so confused. I just don't know what to do . I also don't understand how this has happened ??? 
  • Hello Dear

    Welcome to the Online Community.

    I am sorry to hear that your partner is going through chemo at such a young age. it must be a challenging time for you both. 

    This is a big decision to make about what to do next with the pregnancy. I can understand that an unplanned pregnancy is stressful at any time but during cancer treatment it is very understandable to feel confused and not sure what to do. 

    I would suggest giving the Support Line a call and speaking to one of the nurses. They would know about the chemo and any risks and would be able to listen to your concerns and offer support. 

    I will pop a link with some other ways to contact Macmillan.
