Am I ok to be on here although it's someone who I care for with cancer, not myself?
Hi MillieRubster welcome to the forum and of course it is ok for you to be here. Its hard caring for someone with Cancer and you need to have opportunities to access support as well.
I have inserted a link in this email which if you click on it will take you straight to the carers forum where people like yourself post and I wondered if it is of any use to you to post in there?
Sending very best wishes your way and hope to see you posting in the Carers forum.x
Hi , of course, there are several groups for non patients, one for carers only, one for friends and family, and a supporting someone with incurable cancer. I will put the links below for you to have a look at which one(s) suit you. You might also want to join the group for your someone’s cancer type and when you are ready to start a conversation choose the one that best suits what you want to talk about.

Welcome to the community
Thank you very useful information and links.
Hi and welcome to the online community
I had a look at your profile to see what's brought you here but you haven't completed it yet.
When you feel able to tell us whether you've come here because of a cancer diagnosis for yourself or a loved one and what type of cancer it is we can help guide you to a group that will support you.
Just reply to this post when you're ready
