Hi all,my partner has advanced lung cancer and is now on palliative care. I suppose I'm her carer even though we're not fond of the term.
In short I'm struggling.
Thank you Lollies53, no I don't have anyone to support me bar the Palliative Nurse and District Nurse.
They're brilliant and very experienced but it's not as good as speaking with folk in a similar situation.
We've refused daily Carers for now but that may change in the near future.
Yes it is quite difficult emotionally but chatting on here has already lifted my spirit.
Whatever cancer throws your way, we’re right there with you.
We’re here to provide physical, financial and emotional support.
