Hi all quite new to all this my fiance has recently been diagnosed with a rare form of bone cancer and its been a very frightening experience for us both. I've never had to deal with anything like this before and I've been struggling to find away of coping. Any help would be appreciated.
Hi and a warm welcome to the online community
I'm sorry to read that your fiance has recently been diagnosed with bone cancer and I know what a frightening time this will be for you both.
As the online community is divided up into different support groups I'm going to recommend that you join the bone cancer group, where you can ask questions and share experiences with others who have this diagnosis, and the carers only group, which is a safe and supportive place to share your emotions as well as talk about practical issues.
To join either of these groups just click on the links I've created and then choose 'click to join' or 'join' (depending on the device you're using) on the page that opens. You can then introduce yourself and post in the same way as you did here and join in with existing conversations by clicking on 'reply'.
It would be great if you could pop something about your fiance's journey so far into your profile as it really helps others when answering or looking for someone with a similar diagnosis. It also means that you don't have to keep repeating yourself. To do this click on your username and then select 'Profile'. You can amend it at any time and if you're not sure what to write you can take a look at mine by clicking on my username.
If you have any difficulty navigating the community just drop me a reply and I'll be pleased to help.
