Hello everyone.
I am new to the chat forum here. Apologies if I am replicating another post!
I am in Guildford, Surrey. I am 39 and care for my wife who has terminal cancer. She is reasonably independent at the moment, but will deteriorate. It would be really good to connect with other carers in this part of the country for some general social support, some regular chats and the odd hot/cold drink. It is difficult to make plans in our household because my wife's health changes rapidly and unpredictably day to day. So, I tend to feel quite isolated at times. I have a good group of friends, but it would be great to have some additional support (and people I an support). Don't want to constantly dwell on my situation, so I'm especially keen to hear from people who like to talk about things other than being a carer!
Jason.
