Hello everyone
I am new here and am sitting on a train home after learning my boyfriend who is 41 has terminal cancer. I am in shock and cannot understand how this is happening and don't know what to do

Hi Perkins55 and a very warm welcome to the online community which I hope you'll find is both an informative and supportive place to be.
I'm really sorry to read that you have just discovered that your boyfriend has terminal cancer and I can only begin to imagine how difficult this must be for you.
The online community is divided up into different support groups so can I suggest that you join and post in the supporting someone with incurable cancer group as you'll then connect with others in a similar position to yourself to give and receive support.
To join, just click on the link I've created which will take you directly to the group. You can then join and start anew post in the same way as you did here and join in with existing conversations by clicking on 'reply'.
If you need any help finding your way around I'll be pleased to help if I can.
