Hi and warm welcome to the Macmillan Online Community although sorry that you had to find us and especially sorry to hear about the challenges your husband is having
A cancer diagnosis brings many questions, much confusion and lots of stress. Each type of chemo has its own challenges but for me my team were very helpful so make sure you are talking with his team as there are lots of tools that can help
Talking with others who are walking the same type of journey will help you navigate this challenging time. You don't say what type of cancer he has but The Online Community is organised into various support groups and this is a list is for our Cancer specific Groups.
Have a look through the list by hitting the above link, then you can join a group by hitting the 'click to join' or 'join' (depending on the device you're using) on the page that opens.
You can then introduce yourself by putting up a ‘New Thread’ or hit the box with the X on the top right (phones), you could just copy and paste the text from this your first post. You can also join in with existing ‘Discussions’ by clicking on 'reply'.
Talking with others caring for family and friends will help a lot so do check out our Family and friends group as you will connect with others walking the same journey supporting family and friends through their cancer journey.
It’s always good to talk and the Macmillan Support Services provides lots of information, support, financial guidance or just a listening ear.
