Hi, I’m new … I am caring for my wonderful partner … we have been living in another country and he was misdiagnosed for 5 years … now we have come back home so he can spend time with his family but things have deteriorated quickly. I feel like I am on a roller coaster that won’t stop. I’m desperate not to loose him, I’m desperate for him not to be suffering like this, I’m trying to stay positive for him … but I’m terrified and I’m breaking up inside … I don’t know how anyone can help but maybe saying it, or at least typing it out here will help me ….

Hi SallySausage I'm so sorry about your partner. Getting your feelings out is always a good thing. The forums are split into different sections by cancer type but also by experience ie being a carer so you can chat with people in the same or similar situation to you. I have put a link below so you can have a look and post in the one you feel most appropriate for you.

Cancer experience forums

I found my section very helpful and supportive when I had cancer, so much that i have made friends with some outside of this space. Just being able to speak to people who 100% get it and the fact that know one knows you makes it easier to be honest about how you are feeling. Sending hugs. Xx
