Hi. My husband was diagnosed with GBMF at the end of May, with a maximum 3 months to live. I am scared of not being able to give him a comfortable and happy end to his life, and of not having the stamina to keep him at home until the end. I have no family nearby and we have only lived in the area for a few short years, so dont have any real friends to talk to are ask for help when I need to go out to collect medication etc. I can feel my anxiety levels cramping up but dont know what to do about it.any practical tips please?
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.
First sorry for the delay in replying but we have had issues with the site over night.
A cancer diagnosis like this 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 benefit from 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'.
It’s always good to talk, so can I highlight the Macmillan Support Line on 0808 808 00 00. This service covers Emotional Support, Practical Information. Clinical Information, Financial Support and Work Guidance mostly open 8.00 to 8.00
All the very best ((hugs))
