Day 1

Hi GailH 

Thanks for posting, indeed that is how many of us started out on here. That being "strong" bit is nice and easy to type but can be a challenge in practice and I certainly know I have the occasional wobble.

Exactly right Steve, remaining strong for loved ones is not easy at all, this is why we are here in search of some support from those who understand what we each have to face each day.. x 

Hi GailH

a warm welcome to the group. Sorry  to hear about all that your husband and you are going through.

I'm supporting my husband through his stage 4 brain tumour journey and this community has been a great source of support to me over the past couple of years. It's a safe and supportive space. There's always someone around to listen who gets it, someone to hold your hand and to offer that virtual hug when its needed. You're not alone.

It’s always good to talk so please remember that you can also call the Macmillan Support Services on 0808 808 00 00 - most services are open 8am to 8pm, 7 days a week Clicking here to see what is available. This service provides lots of cancer information, emotional support, benefit and financial guidance or just a listening ear.

Please make sure you take  care of your wee self here too. This can be an emotional rollercoaster ride. You need to  keep your own wee batteries charged. Taking "me time" isn't selfish. It's essential ...trust me.

For now though I'm sending you a huge virtual hug and lots of positive energy. Stay strong.

love n hugs

Wee Me xx
