I’m Emma and my partner is in hospital with terminal cancer on a high dose of morphine. 

  • Hi  and welcome to the Online Community but sorry that you had to find us and especially sorry to hear about your partners diagnosis. This must be such a stressful time for you all.

    A cancer diagnosis like this in the family can be challenging in so many ways but you will find talking with others who are walking the same type of cancer journey will help you navigate this difficult time.

    When it comes to the practical challenges of supporting someone you may benefit from talking with others caring for family and friends so do check out our Carers only and supporting someone with incurable cancer groups as you will connect with others supporting family and friends through their cancer journey.

    To join a group just click on the link above then choose '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'. 

    It’s always good to talk so do call the Macmillan Support Services on 0808 808 00 00 - most services are open 8am to 8pm, 7 days a week Clicking here to see what is available. This service can give lots of cancer information, support, financial guidance or just a listening ear.

    We also have Cancer Nurse Team in our Ask an Expert section, but do allow two working days for replies from our expert team.

    All the very best and some caring ((hugs))
