Hi Suzyc.     Sorry to read this.  Mike as got a hold of it.     I am a multiple myeloma  patient.  Early  days.  But end of life care is difficult.    I know that.

Hi again suzyc and thank you for clarifying this.

You are navigating a very challenging team me and when it comes to the practical and emotional challenges of supporting your husband you may benefit from joining and posting in our Carers only and Supporting someone with incurable cancer support groups where you will connect with others navigating the exact same support challenges.

The Macmillan Support Line is open 8am-8pm (timings may differ across services) 7 days a week on 0808 808 00 00 or via Webchat and Email too. This service provides cancer information, practical information, emotional support, benefits/financial guidance or just a listening ear.

We also have our Ask an Expert section but do allow a few working days for a reply.
