Hi. 
I'm new to this so apologies if I’m in the wrong group. If anyone wants to point me in the right direction feel free. 
My partner has incurable bowel cancer. He is 39. I’m 41. We have 2 kids ages 10 and 8. 
Up until now I’ve managed to keep most of this from the kids but now I’m going to have to tell them their dd has has cancer as he’s starting chemo in a week or so. 
He had a major op to remove rectal cancer a month ago in London but they found at the time of the op that it’s spread and incurable now.
Im terrified about him starting chemo....

1. The coronavirus!

2. telling the kids

3. how I’m actually going to cope with being confined to the house, being a teacher, home maker, money earner and now Carer? 
I just want to cry all the time as I’m so scared of going crazy but I have to keep it all together for them all? 

Any advice? Xx

    Hi Glitzyshoes

    Loving the name by the way and welcome to the online community. I have stage 2 bowel cancer so operation and chemo for me nothing like what you are going through as well as here in the chemotherapy forum why not cut n paste your post in the bowel/Colon Cancer forum where you get betta responses for the specific cancer. I'm sorry I couldn't be much more help but your definitely in my thoughts.

    Stay safe
