Day 10

Support for partners.....

I'm wondering what sort of support there is out there for partners? My dear partner is just amazing... he is so careing and thoughtful (since I have been diagnosed he has bought me fresh flowers not once but twice....just to brighten up my day!). However I know this can't be easy for him either, and he will also need support.

Firstly, what can I do? Secondly, are there people / places I can point him in the direction of?

We have such a social active life together, that I have this horrible guilty feeling about that changing over the next few months, and him really having to look after me. I know I probably shouldn't think like that, but I do.

I find myself thinking about my mum more than ever since I've been diagnosed. It makes me incredibly sad to be feeling some of the things she was feeling. I wish I had done more, been there fo her more. RIP mum. x

    Hi Annie13,

    As Sillysam83 mentioned there is a central 'Partners' group in BCNA's online network where your partner can connect with others, read blog posts or make his own posts. There is both a public and private group so he can feel comfortable knowing that only group members (the boys) can read.

    I hope your partner has a chance to register and connect with others.

    Just shout if you have any questions.

    Cheers, Daina
