Hi Caz66.
Welcome to our community, I hope you find it both informative and supportive.
I am Steve, one of the community champions and my experiece of cancer is via my wife who has Leiomyosarcoma.
While our cancer experiences may seem different I can relate to the feeling of breaking and being at my wits end - though that was many years ago now. I walked in to our local Maggies center and basically brain dumped while I cried my eyes out.
Do you have any support for you? You are entitled to a carers assessment from the local authority.
The new to the community forum is a bit like the welcome mat here. Most of the community is divided up either by cancer types or experiences and you might like to introduce yourself in our Carers only forum where there will be more members in a similar position.
<<hugs>>
Steve
