Hello MrsBlueSky, 

Oh poor you, what a year it has been for you! Just as things were improving for you and you were starting to feel better, this must have been a real blow and I am so sorry to hear that your partner has been diagnosed with rectal cancer with spots on the lung. I hope that the oncologist appointment is coming soon so you can find out more about what the next treatment steps might be. 

We're thinking of you both during this challenging time and wanted you to know that the forum is here for you anytime you need to talk or offload. This is bound to be a rather anxious time when you have more questions than answers racing through your head and still a lot of uncertainty so I wanted you to know that we also have a nurse helpline you can call on this free number 0808 800 4040 - it is open Monday to Friday from 9am to 5pm so don't hesitate to get in touch with our cancer nurses if you have any questions. 

Best wishes, 

Lucie, Cancer Chat Moderator
