About Penruthen

I have a former partner and close friend in the later stages of lung cancer. Having already been a fundraiser for Cancer Research UK I looked at this website first, thus finding the forum, and hope that I can connect with other carers who are also going throught this difficult time, as I really don't know what to expect in the next few weeks. My friend is hoping to come home within the week and I (spelling with my current partner) will have to look after him 24/7 around a care package of 4 visits per day. Although I have worked as a carer (a long time ago) I have no experience of terminal cancer, and would welcome any supportive and helpful advice. Thanks for reading.
