Wife with cancer

  Hi  and a warm welcome to the Online Community. I'm so sorry to read of your wife's diagnosis and surgery. I hope she's doing well after her surgery.

I have a different cancer to your wife but I see you've joined our supportive our Bowel cancer  group, this will be a good place to connect with others supporting a family member on the same type of cancer journey. I've also tagged the Community Champion court who'll be along to welcome you.

It’s always helpful to others if you write a little something (or a lot) about yourself and your journey to date. You can enter it into your profile (click on your username and select “Profile”) It’s helpful to other members with a similar diagnosis who can then hopefully answer your questions. It also means that you don't have to keep repeating yourself. You can amend or update it at any time. 

The Macmillan Support Services also offer lots of information, support, financial guidance or just someone to listen. It’s free to call 0808 808 0000. Most services are available 8am to 8pm, 7 days a week. Have a look by Clicking here to see what is available and we also have our Ask an Expert section, but do allow two to three working days for replies from our expert team.

Sending you welcoming hugs B xx
