As I expected, I guess that's no one then. I'm signing out of this forum because it seems to be a nine-to-five thing which is really unhelpful.

Hello.
Sorry that you feel this way but this forum is in no way a 9 to 5 thing. I too am awake much of the night since losing my husband to lung cancer almost 4 years ago.
I see that somebody has now kindly responded to your post so hope it has been of some help to you in this awful situation you are in.
Kind regards.
Lynne.
Hello Vindelis,
I just wanted to welcome you to our friendly community. I am really sorry that you felt there was no one there in the early hours of the morning at a time when you needed support. I just wanted you to know the forum is definitely not a 9 to 5 thing - we are there for you at any time. Obviously there will be times when it is a little quieter but we are here for you whenever you need to talk to others who understand how you are feeling. One of our members, the lovely [@jules54], springs to my mind as someone who could very much relate to your situation as she looked after husband who had a mesothelioma diagnosis.
Best wishes,
Lucie, Cancer Chat Moderator
Hi Vindelis
Moderator Lucie replied to you and mentioned me so it popped into my e-mail box. I picked it up as soon as I got home and just wanted to let you know that although you may not have received an immediate answer it is always worth posting because there can be others in similar situations on the forum at any given time.
As Lucie mentioned my hubby was diagnosed with Mesothelioma (what a mouthful to say that is) and the initial shock is awful and I am not sure, even now, how I coped other than by being angry,sad, frustrated, frightened and at times just downright lost and helpless. Being on the forum enabled me to express all these feelings (and probably more to be honest) which, if nothing else, gave me an outlet when all I wanted to do was run and hide from what was a very hard journey to make. We did have children/grandchildren (hubby was 60 when diagnosed) and friends but I wanted to protect them as much as I wanted to protect my hubby.
Please, if you want to chat, ask questions just respond and I will get back to you as soon as I can. Jules
