  1. My partner was as diagnosed with lung cancer in November, this has also gone to his brain. This is very new to us & I am not coping very well at all. 
    All I want to do is be there & look after him but all he seems to want to do is cause arguments & say mean things to me. I understand this could well be his tumours but it’s constant & my mental health is suffering. 
    I have no idea what to do or who to ask for help.
  • Hi  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 Anne, one of the Community Champions here on the Online Community and I'm sorry to read about your husband's diagnosis and how it's affecting you both.

    The online community is divided into different support groups so I'm going to recommend that you join the carers only group, where you'll connect with others carers to share experiences and get support.

    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'.

    It would be great if you could put something about your husband's diagnosis and treatment to date 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.
