Hi, my partner has recently been diagnosed with terminal cancer at the end of January. I haven't been able to get into work since the diagnosis as at times he has mobility issues. Is there any support out there to enable me to return to work for 3/4 hours a day and know that my partner has someone with him if he needs anything?
Hi and welcome to the online community
I'm very sorry to hear about your partner's diagnosis. It must be an incredibly hard time for you both.
I don't know if there is a sitting service available to enable you to go back to work but you could post your question in ask an information and support adviser and one of Macmillan's advisers will get back to you.

Thank you so much for your reply. I feel like my partner has given up on this. He won't talk about it, he won't even answer the phone to friends and sometimes family. I feel like he is shutting us both of from everyone.
