Hi I’m new to the forum. Still not sure this is the right one to be posting . But hoping you will help me out. In the last 2 weeks my husband and myself have been diagnosed with cancer. It’s been a shock to both of us because they were both found incidentally . We neither had symptoms but I suppose we have been lucky they have been found in routine tests. That saying I suppose I’m still in shock . My husband is pragmatic and so am I too a certain extent . The thing is
I can’t keep warm I know that’s stupid but since being told I keep shivering all the time . I know it stupid because the house is very warm . Just want to say hello and I’m hoping these forums can help us to get through the next phase of this journey.
Hi Millie12 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 that both you and your husband have recently been diagnosed with cancer. It must be an incredibly hard time for you both, especially as they were incidental findings.
The online community is divided into different support groups, but as you haven't said what type of cancer you have, I can't give you a direct link to the appropriate group where you can connect directly with others who have the same type of cancer as you. You could either let me know, and I'll then provide a link, or take a look through this list.
Once you've joined the right group for you, you can start a new post in the same way as you did here and join in with existing conversations by clicking on 'reply'.
You could also join the group for your husband's type of cancer as well if you wanted to ask questions and get support about that as well. Alternatively, your husband could join the community so he can interact directly.
It would be great if you could put something about your diagnosis 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.
