Hi @Bridget1
It's true that there is not a huge support network for partners.
I have found a number of people through work, but to be honest most of the meaningful support I have found on here. Some of the (mostly) women here have been incredibly supportive and patient.
Its a funny place to be, as a healthy partner of a Cancer patient. And when I say funny I mean shit. There are some dark places your mind goes and personally I found guilt to be a big one, but fear has been the worst.
Please don't let yourself be alone, though. There are some resources you should definitely use.
I'll PM you.
