Hi
Just looking for some support.
August of this year my partner found out he had metastatic kidney cancer which had spread to his lung and is not operable or curable and we were recently told he had 12-24 months to live and that's with treatment using immunotherapy, which may or may not slow down the growth, which he starts tomorrow, he's 55 
Our worlds have been turned upside down.
Hi and a warm welcome to the Macmillan Online Community, a Community that no one really plans to see themselves joining, and so sorry to hear about your partners cancer diagnosis and yes, a cancer diagnosis does turn your world up side down.
My type of cancer is rather different and although incurable has been treatable for a good number of years.
But an incurable cancer diagnosis brings a lot of confusion, stress and many questions on all the family but talking with other people who are on the same type of journey helps a lot.
The Community is organised into various support groups and I see you have joined our Kidney cancer group, you may also have a look at our Lung, secondary cancer group.
These are the places where you will connect with others walking the treatment journey both as a patient or family.
Follow the above links then choose ‘click to join' or ‘join’ when the page opens.
You can then introduce yourself, post questions or just join in with existing discussions by clicking on 'reply'.
You may also find our Carers only, Family and friends and Supporting someone with incurable cancer groups a great benefit as you will connect with others supporting family through their cancer journey.
Its always good to talk and the Macmillan Support Services provides lots of information, support or just a listing ear.
Most services are open 8am to 8pm, 7 days a week and it's free to call on 0808 808 00 00 have a look by Clicking here to see what is available.
You can use other methods to contact our Support Services (LINK) and we also have our Ask an Expert section, but do allow two working days for replies from our expert team.
All the very best.
