  • Hi and welcome to our community. I don't so often look at this group since my main cancer experience is with my wife whose cancer is incurable but stable and so we are "living with cancer" rather than anything else.

    A big element of this time is to remember to take some time for yourself so that you are ready when really needed. It can help if we look at Your feelings when someone has cancer as that can help us focus on how we feel. There are useful guides to on Talking about cancer
