Advanced Renal Cancer

Hi I am new to this group and hope to introduce my partner too because he has advanced renal cancer. I find that since my partner started his latest treatment (cabozantinib) 14 months ago, his moods have changed and as a result this has impacted my mental health. I’m currently signed of work with depression.  An anyone help or relate 

  • Hi Petitelady1967,

    Welcome to Cancer Chat. I'm sorry to hear of the situation with your partner and how it has impacted you.

    Mood changes due to treatment can be common, and can be very difficult for those trying to support the person. Hopefully you have some friends and family around you to speak with too. I'm glad you've found this forum, as it it a safe space to write things down and to reach out to others who understand. I hope that it can be of some help to you.

    Hopefully you'll get some more replies to your post soon - you can also search the forum (using the bar at the top of the page) for other relevant discussions and people to connect with, if you would like to.

    If ever you'd like to explore additional support, have a look at Macmillan and also Maggie's, who both have various resources, helplines and also local centres to visit. There is help available if you need or want it, and it's important to keep looking after yourself.

    We are always here if you need it. Wishing you all the best,

    Ben
