Hi, my partner has two forms of cancer and was diagnosed Xmas eve. Most of you will know the journey we've been on since but we know the really tough stuff is in front of him with 7 weeks radiotherapy on neck/throat cancer and lung cancer. He just wants to focus on the day ahead and whilst I'm there with him, I'm the planner/researcher who copes by leaning into it all. So glad there is somewhere to come to ask for tips and advice, to vent and rant, and to support others.
Hi Janey07 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, although my cancers weren't the same as your husband's, I do understand the impact cancer diagnoses have on the whole family.
The online community is divided into different support groups and I can see that you've already found and joined the head and neck cancer and lung cancer groups. Both are great place to ask questions, share experiences and get support.
When you feel ready, you can start new posts in those groups in the same way as you did here to introduce yourself and ask any questions.
It would be great if you could put something about your husband's diagnoses and proposed 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.
