I'm new to this group, looking for a friend going through a similar situation.
My husband was diagnosed with an aggressive advanced cancer called NET Neuroendocrine Carcinoma in January prognosis 6-12 months.
Its been a rough couple of months he suffered a broken rib, chest infection then had a rough first round of chemo and was admitted to hospital twice. We have 4 children 15,12,9 & 2 years old.
Juggling supporting him and the kids, luckily have a network of family and friends but think it would be good to speak to someone who has been or is going through this too.
Hi and welcome to the Online Community, although I am sorry to see you finding us and so sorry to hear about your husbands diagnosis - this must have been a big shock to you.
