A very warm welcome to Cancer Chat Athony, although I'm really sorry to hear about your wife.
Caring for someone with terminal cancer can be very, very, tough but I hope it helps to know that so many of our members know what you're going through, so you are not alone, and hopefully you will receive some support and advice soon from our very understanding and caring community.
As a carer, it's very important to take care of yourself at this time as well. I know that's easier said than done, but when you have a moment do consider speaking to your GP about how you're feeling as they will do all they can to provide you with the emotional and practical support you need as you navigate this very difficult and challenging journey.
If you're not able to get in touch with your GP just yet, you're very welcome to talk to one of our cancer nurses on 0808 800 4040. Their phone lines are open Monday - Friday between 9a.m - 5p.m and they will do all they can to help you at this time.
Do keep posting if you find it helps Athony and remember that we'll always be here for you.
Kind regards,
Steph, Cancer Chat Moderator
