Hello. I am new to this group and hope to connect with some of you as I don’t know anyone who’s husband has been diagnosed with terminal cancer. It is so difficult watching him deteriorate but I am plaque with guilt when I wish it would be over..

  • Hi and welcome to the online community

    I'm very sorry to read that your husband has recently been diagnosed with terminal cancer so it's no wonder that you're struggling a bit.

    As you know, the community is divided up into groups and I'm going to suggest that you also join the carers only group and the supporting someone with incurable cancer group. Both of these groups are safe and supportive places to share your worries and concerns with others whose spouse/partner has an incurable diagnosis.

    To join either or both of these groups just click on the links I've created and then choose 'join this group' on the pages that open. You can then introduce yourself and post questions after selecting 'start a discussion' and join in with existing conversations by clicking on 'reply'.

    When you have a minute, it would be really useful if you could pop something about your husband's journey so far into your profile as it really helps others when answering or looking for someone with a similar diagnosis. It also means that you don't have to keep repeating yourself. To do this click on your username and then select 'Edit Profile'. You can amend it at any time and if you're not sure what to write you can take a look at mine by clicking on my username.
