I’m a mum and have two amazing children. Prior to March 2021i I was so blessed. My beautiful 27 year old son who was fit , heathy , had an amazing life , climbed mountains snd ran marathons was diagnosed with stage v cancer and given months to live. The last couple of months have been a rollercoaster- are there any mums living on the Wirral I could speak too for support My family , friends are hurting so much I can’t share my pain.
thanks Nicola
Hi Nicola Nicola53and welcome to the Online Community but so sorry to hear about your sons's diagnosis, this must have come as a shock but I do hope you will find lots of comfort and support from people who understand here on the Online Community.
The Community has many dedicated support groups and when it comes to the practical challenges of supporting someone you may benefit from joining our supportive Carers only and Supporting someone with incurable cancer groups where you will connect with others supporting family and friends

It’s always good to talk so do call the Macmillan Support Services on 0808 808 00 00 - most services are open 8am to 8pm, 7 days a week Clicking here to see what is available. This service provides lots of cancer information, emotional support, benefit and financial guidance or just a listening ear.
Talking to people face to face can indeed help a lot but during these strange times it’s not that available but do check to see if you have any Local Macmillan Support in your area has opened up. Do also check out for a local Maggie's Centre
Always around if you need further help in navigating the community.
All the very best ((hugs))
