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.

    I’m so sorry to hear this, do you have anyone to support you? It must be so hard for you right now.

    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.
