Fear of not seeing family grow up

Hello Domb 

A warm welcome to the Macmillan online Community. I am so sorry to find you here especially in view of your diagnosis.  The online Community is divided up into "chat rooms" which are cancer specific and to "meet" with Community members on the same or similar journey may I suggest you join the following forums:

Brain cancer forum  

Living with incurable cancer forum - patients only

Hi Domb,  and another warm welcome from me, I am on the Living with incurable cancer-patients only from, which Brian has suggested, where you will find many wonderful people who are going through what you are, we have found a way to live with our prognosis and the thought of not seeing your little ones grow up,  I have a 10 week old granddaughter and twins due in January and have the same thoughts as you, as do many of my friends on the forum. We also have a few with brain cancer, and many who are well past the time they were given. Being able to talk to others who know exactly what you are going through is so important as everyone on the forum would agree, I hope you think about joining, best wishes
