Looking for women/mid 30s who have loved one going through cancer

Hi everyone,

One of my dear friends’ partners has been going through cancer. He’s young (early 30s) and has already faced both radiotherapy and chemotherapy. My friend is finding this time incredibly tough -balancing being a carer and emotional support while also trying to navigate her own life, career, and everything else that comes with it.

She recently mentioned feeling quite alone in this journey and would love to meet other women around her age who have a loved one going through cancer - just to talk, share, and feel a little less isolated.

I feel so helpless watching her go through this and wanted to see if anyone here might be in a similar position, or knows someone who is. My friend is in her early 30s, works in marketing, and lives in London. If this resonates, I’d love to help connect you.

  • Hi, oh boy this really does. I'm 42 and my daughter's father who  is a close friend of mine. He's only 43, diagnosed with a rare cancer. He was free of it post radical surgery but we found out today it's come back, my daughter is about to turn 13 on Monday. We are all so close. I am his main carer and feel every part of this and have no support. The nhs have failed him as they didn't inform him the results till we accidentally found out. These times are so isolating, and there's no support. Hence why I have resorted to this site. I too would love to connect with people who are struggling and help lift one another x
