Husband of a wife who has just been diagnosed with Breast Cancer

Hi, I've just joined this chat. Just want to say what I can't say to friends or family or my wife who has been diagnosed with breast cancer. She's gad surgery and started her 1st bout of chemotherapy. Don't really know what else to say at present except hi 

  • Welcome to the forum, Swany.
    I’m sorry to hear about what you and your wife are going through right now. It’s completely normal to feel unsure of what to say or how to navigate this challenging time. You’re not alone, and there are many people here who understand what you’re going through.
    I’m sure others in the community will be along shortly to say hello and offer their support. In the meantime, if you ever feel like you need some guidance, there is this page called Family, friends, carers and cancer from our website that might be useful to read.
    If you’d like to chat with one of our nurses, you can reach them on 0808 800 4040, Monday to Friday, 9am to 5pm. They’re happy to offer support and any advice they can.
    Wishing you and your wife all the best during this time. Please don’t hesitate to keep in touch and let us know how you’re both doing.
    Best wishes,
    Renata, Cancer Chat Moderator
