Hi and welcome to the Online Community but I am so sorry to read about your dad’s diagnosis and prognosis but I do hope you will find the support available on the community helpful.
You will find talking with others who are walking the exact same type of cancer support path will help you navigate this challenging time.
The New to Community is like the Community Reception area. There are many cancer journeys so the Community has many dedicated support groups and when it comes to the practical challenges of supporting someone with incurable cancer you may benefit from joining our supportive Carers only and Supporting someone with incurable cancer groups where you will connect with others supporting family during a time like this.
Navigating the community will depend on the device you are using. To go to the group just click on the Green link I have created above.
When the group page opens choose [Join]……. A black box with text will also be visible so you can also join by clicking anywhere in that black box.
You can then introduce yourself by putting up a new post by clicking in the box near the top with + New(Computers) or + (Mobile Devices). You will then see a dropdown menu so why not hit ‘Start a Discussion in New here, say hello’
You could copy and paste the text from this your first post. You can also search through existing ‘Discussions’ and click 'reply' if you want to put up a comment.
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, practical information, emotional support, benefit and financial guidance or just a listening ear.
Always around if you need further help in navigating the community.
All the very best ((hugs))
Whatever cancer throws your way, we’re right there with you.
We’re here to provide physical, financial and emotional support.
