  • Hi  

    I have just replied to your post in the bereaved family and friends group but, in case you see this message first, here's what I put.....

    "As you know, the online community is divided into different support groups so I'm going to recommend that you join the family and friends group as you'll then connect directly with others who have been or are in the same situation as you and your mum.

    To join, just click on the link I've created and, once you've joined, you can start a new post in the same way as you did here and join in with existing conversations by clicking on 'reply'.

    It would be great if you could put something about your mum's diagnosis and treatment into your profile as it really helps others when replying to you and also when looking for someone on a similar pathway. It also means that you don't have to keep repeating yourself. To do this click on your username and then select 'Profile'. You can amend it at any time and if you're not sure what to write you can take a look at mine by clicking on my username."
