Twin with cancer

Hi Celtic girl,

I am so sorry you are going through this. I have also recently received the news my partner only has months to live and I am constantly crying but trying to be strong. He is also 58. Have you chatted to one of the McMillan support team on here they are very helpful and supportive. Your brothers doctors should steer you towards the palliative care team who will be able to support you. It feels a lonely place at times but your brother I am sure is grateful for all the support you are giving him. Be kind to yourself too. Sending hugs and here if you need to chat x 

Thank you so much.  I am so sorry about your partner.  I haven’t chatted to support on here I will try.  Yes I would like to chat feel so alone.  

I have sent you a friends request so if you want to message please do. x

Oh thank you, where have you sent the friend request to please, I can’t find it ? 

At the top of this page you should see a symbol that looks like a lightening symbol it should have all your notifications and you should see my friend request x 

Hi Celtic Girl

How are you doing? x

Terrible day yesterday and today as ran out of slow release pain killer.  But got it this morning and better now.  But he’s so ill looking doctor came out today.  You? I couldn’t find the friend request thing but I will look again 

Can you see the little message box at the top if you click on there you should see it 

I am sorry you have had a rotten couple of days. I am also struggling as my partner is very poorly now . Sending love x

Hi celtic girl. Really sorry to hear this. I can sympathise as my partner has recently been diagnosed as terminal with a poor prognosis of only around 12 months. She is also only 58. I am devastated beyond words and, as this is so new, I don't have much by way of advice but it does seem that people who find themselves here aren't alone. If you figure out any coping strategies for either of you I'd love to hear! Best wishes to you both.
