Hi and welcome to the Online Community but so sorry to hear about your your wife, please accept my deepest condolences and indeed your diagnosis.
A sudden death like this can be very challenging but talking with others who are walking the same type of journey may help you navigate this difficult time.
The New to Community is like the Community Reception area and as there are many cancer types and experiences so likewise the Community has many support groups and see you have joined and posted in our supportive Bereaved spouses and partners group as this will be a good place to connect with folks who may be on the same pathway.
I also see you have joined and posted in our Prostate cancer group as this will help you with your cancer journey.
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.
