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 but you have found a safe place to find some support.
A terminal cancer diagnosis brings a lot of confusion, stress and many questions but talking with people who are on the same type of journey helps a lot.
The Community has many dedicated support groups so can I direct you to our supportive Carers only and Supporting someone with incurable cancer groups as you will connect with others supporting family through their cancer journey.
Follow the links I've created above, join the groups, then hit ‘start a discussion’ and you are ready to go.
You could then copy and paste the information from this first post into your new discussion or you can just join in with existing ‘Discussions’ by clicking on 'reply'.
Can I also highlight our various Macmillan Support Line Services on 0808 808 00 00. This service covers Emotional Support, Practical Information. Clinical Information, and Financial Support mostly open 8.00 to 8.00 but check the link but you may find the service very busy at the moment.
Sending you warm ((hugs))
Whatever cancer throws your way, we’re right there with you.
We’re here to provide physical, financial and emotional support.
