Hi, my partner has just been diagnosed with breast cancer. 3 areas one in lymph node. I am looking after her but I am new at this I just wanted to reach out because I do feel alone. I am only learning about cancer and what she will be going through. If anyone has any suggestions for support that has helped themselves or their partners, family, I would love to have ideas, thank you, I just feel a bit lost and overwhelmed.
