Hi pinochhio and a very warm welcome to the online community which I hope you'll find is both an informative and supportive place to be.
It sounds like an incredibly difficult time for you right now so I'm glad you've reached out.
As the online community is divided into different support forums I'm going to recommend that you join the family and friends forum which is a great place to share your feelings and get support from others who have loved ones living with cancer.
To join, just click on the link 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'.
If you have any problems navigating the community please get back to me and I'll be pleased to help if I can.
((hugs))
