Hello
My partner has just walked away from our relationship after 15 years
All because we couldn't have normal sex. Due to my illness COPD and Tumer in my lungs leaves me breathless, now I'm on my own and finding it hard to cope with everyday chores.

    Hi @john28 :) 

    I'm really sorry to hear that you and your long term partner have broken up. That must be incredibly difficult to deal with.

    You've mentioned in your post that you don't like being on your own at night, as that's when you had your last two attacks. Do you mind me asking what you mean by 'attacks'? 

    Do you have any family or friends who could keep you company and help to support you? I appreciate not everyone does.

    Hi I am sorry about your relationship breakdown 

    For piece of mind you could get a personal alarm that you wear round your neck or as a watch that is monitored by care company
