My husband was diagnosed with Mudulary Thyroid cancer 12 months ago and has been told he has stage 4. Although he has had his thyroid removed they couldn't get it all so he suffers a lot with pain. His quality of life is very restricted and I am struggling to cope with all this and sometimes feel like I am going to explode. I need to be able to speak to people who are going through this for advise thank you 

  • Hi and welcome to the Community. I noticed your post had not been answered and popped over from Carers.  The carers group has a lot of members who will understand what you're going through. It's bound to have a knock-on effect on you and looking after yourself is just as important.  Perhaps you could find a local group by popping your post code in the link page. I completely understand what you're saying about feeling 'like I am going to explode'; all of us carers can recognise that feeling. Are you able to get out much?
