having panic attacks,cant sleep and havent for days and carnt stop crying since partner diagnosed with lung cancer

Hi  and welcome to the Online Community but sorry to hear about your partners diagnosis.

A cancer diagnosis is such a hard time for everyone involved and in the early days it can be a very emotional time made worse by the challenges that Covid brings.

Talking with others who are walking the same type of cancer support journey (my one is completely different) will help you navigate this difficult time so can I recommend you join our supportive Lung Cancer group as this will be a good place to connect with patients and family on the same cancer treatment pathway.

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'. 

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 Family and friends groups where you will connect with others supporting family and friends

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 provides 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.

To find information covering diagnosis, treatments and pages covering most types of cancers check our Online Information and Support Section. 

All the very best ((hugs))
