Is there anyone out there in a similar situation to me (husband/wife with incurable cancer and kids very young - mine are 7 and 4).
I would like to start a support group for people in a similar situation to me and don't know where to turn. Thanks

Hello Meely99
I can see that you've posted on the forum a couple of times over the past few months trying to connect with others who are in a similar situation.
I don't think that we currently have any members who find themselves in similar circumstances but hopefully if we do they will post to connect with you.
I don't know if you've heard of a charity called Shine but they support people in their 20s, 30s & 40s who are diagnosed with cancer. (I can see from a previous post that your husband is in his early 40s) I've had a look on their website and I can see that they do have a support group for family and friends of those impacted by cancer. You might also be able to connect with others through your local Maggie's centre.
I do hope that you're able to connect with others who understand the challenges that you face but please know that you're always welcome to post here on the forum.
Best wishes,
Jenn
