Hello. I've heard about Macmillan's fantastic support services but never had a reason or a chance to ask for them. I'm a bit scared of how to manage if my partner's cancer becomes terminal. We're not at that stage yet but having lost several family members and friends to this horrible disease I'm alarmed. So I want to show support for others in this sort of situation because I guess a lot of us feel pretty helpless and alone when people - or any creature - we've spent our lives with and have loved may be on the point of checking out.
Hi CarolineJ
Welcome to our community, I hope you find it both informative and supportive.
I am Steve, one of the community champions and my experience of cancer is via my wife who has Leiomyosarcoma.
Most of our community is divided up by cancer types and expereinces, you could of course be welcome to join whatever group is relevant to the cancer type but you might also be interested in joining our Family and friends forum and/or Carers only forum. That feeling of being alone is quite common but something I found is there are more people out their going through this that we might always recognize.
<<hugs>>
Steve
