Hi Cuartasc, There are a number of telephone support groups offered by the cancer council that might be of interest for your partner including the carers group. They get together every two weeks and they talk about they are all going through.  It definitely seems to help. Most groups also have a godo number of men if in case that makes him feel better. Maybe have a look at this link that has all the information on that group.you can also call the helpline directly on 13 11 20 for a whole list of services available for carers to see if there is something else you might identify as helpful. Carersnsw is alfo a good source of info.Maybe just getting him to look around this website on the carers forum http://tinyurl.com/6jty7l He might feel identify with some of the discussions and decide to register later to talk more. Hope you find this helpful. Feel free to ask moer questions if you need more info.Best wishes,Raul ... View more

Dear Mel, Thanks for sharing this. I cannot imagine how you must be feeling but I just want to say that I am very sorry to hear all the things you both have been going through. We are here to hear whenever you feel like sharing any of your emotions. I have never been in your position but when some close family members have been affected by cancer, what I got is that they just appreciate the fact that you are there. Hopefully someone else will provide more insights. Best wishes ... View more
