Husband diagnosed with cancer

Hi there, 

I'm new to the site but my husband has recently (Jan) been diagnosed with a rare sarcoma and it has thrown us into turmoil. I am really struggling to think about it and have ao much I want to talk through with someone who might be having a similar experience as a spouse.

thank you

  • Welcome to the Cancer Chat community NatalieEs1 although I'm sorry to hear your husband was diagnosed with a rare sarcoma earlier this year.

    Supporting someone with cancer can be very tough, even more so when it's a rare cancer, but you are not alone as we have many members who have been in this situation and will understand how you're feeling at the moment, so I'm sure some of them will be along soon to offer their support and advice.

    In the meantime, I hope this information we have for family, friends and caregivers will help but if you'd like to talk any of this through with one of our cancer nurses, they're just a phone call away on 0808 800 4040. Their phone lines are open Monday - Friday between 9a.m - 5p.m and they will do all they can to answer your questions and support you at this time.

    You may also be able to get further information and advice from Sarcoma UK.

    Best wishes to you both,

    Steph, Cancer Chat Moderator
