Caring for someone

Partner just been diagnosed with cancer got scan booked for next Tuesday.      Still in shock and scared 

  • Welcome to the forum Darkh although I'm really sorry to hear your partner has just been diagnosed with cancer.

    Feeling shocked and scared is completely natural after receiving such life changing news, and I hope it helps to know that so many of our members have been where you are now, so you are not alone, and I'm sure it won't be long until some of them stop by to offer their support and advice.

    I hope this information we have for family, friends and caregivers will be useful, but if you or your partner have any questions playing on your mind or feel it may help just to talk things through with someone, then do give our cancer nurses a call on 0808 800 4040, Monday - Friday (except bank holidays) between 9a.m - 5p.m. They're very insightful and will do all they can to support you.

    We are thinking of you Darkh and wishing you and your partner all the best for next week.

    Kind regards,

    Steph, Cancer Chat Moderator
