Husband has breast cancer
Hi Alftaz 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 sorry to read that your husband has breast cancer and I know what a difficult time this will be for you both.
The online community is divided up into different support groups so I'm going to recommend that you join the breast cancer group, which is a great place to ask questions and share experiences, and also the carers only group where you can share your emotions and worries with others who have a loved one living with cancer.
To join these groups, just click on the links I've created and, once you've joined, you can start a new post in the same way as you did here and join in with existing conversations by clicking on 'reply'.
It would be great if you could pop something about your husband's diagnosis and any treatment into your profile as it really helps others when replying to you and also when looking for someone on a similar pathway. It also means that you don't have to keep repeating yourself. To do this click on your username and then select 'Profile'. You can amend it at any time and if you're not sure what to write you can take a look at mine by clicking on my username.
Whatever cancer throws your way, we’re right there with you.
We’re here to provide physical, financial and emotional support.
