Hello Stephen301165,

I’m sorry to read about your wife’s diagnosis and all that you’re going through as a family. It’s understandable that you can’t get your head around what’s happening and are finding it difficult at the moment.

For some people, talking about what they’re going through and how they’re feeling can be helpful, so I’m so pleased you joined our Online Community. I hope others will see your post and feel able to share their own experiences with you too.

Is there anything in particular that you are worried or concerned about that we may be able to support you with or talk through with you?

We look forward to chatting with you,

Bonnie

Marie Curie Online Community Team
