My husband has a diagnosis on April 12th im disabled he’s my caregiver im scared but have no one I can turn too
So sorry to hear your bad news, Claire.
Your husband will indeed need a lot of care himself
For a start I would contact your GP so that some care fir both of you can be arranged.
Meanwhile give the Macmillan support line a ring. The number is at the bottom of this post. They will be able to give you some guidance as to how to get things in motion.
You can’t and don’t need to do this on your own.

Can't, at this stage add to what's above, but just wanted to say that I've been under the team at the RD&E for nearly ten years and two cancers now, and they're absolutely brilliant. Also get in touch with Force cancer charity which is in the hospital grounds, they'll help as well, lovely people.
Metastatic SCC diagnosed 8th October 2013. Modified radical neck dissection November, thirty-five radiotherapy fractions with 2xCisplatin chemo Jan/Feb 2014. Recurrence on larynx diagnosed July 2020 so salvage laryngectomy in September 2020.
Whatever cancer throws your way, we’re right there with you.
We’re here to provide physical, financial and emotional support.
