Hi all
I not sure if this is the right place after reading some stories already i here for some support really my dad got diagnosed with terminal bowel cancer also in his liver and lungs, and now after 4 different types of chemo and now been told it has gone from metastatic to metastatic and gone to masses now to having to wait to see if he is going to be able to have a trial treatment at a nother hospital.
Thank you
Stacey
Hi Stacey Lou90 and a warm welcome to the Macmillan Community but so sorry to hear about your dad’s diagnosis……. The Community is a safe place to talk with others who are navigating this unwanted journey.
The Community is actually divided into dedicated Support Groups (Discussion Rooms) and when it comes to the practical and emotional challenges of supporting your dad and indeed yourself you may benefit from joining and posting in our……
Carers only (if you are his caregiver)
Supporting someone with incurable cancer
……. support groups where you will connect with a wide range of members navigating the exact same support challenges.
It is an emotional time supporting family so you might find this Macmillan information your feelings when someone has cancer helpful as well as this link getting help with your emotions.
The Macmillan Support Line is open between 8am-8pm (timings may differ across services) 7 days a week on 0808 808 00 00…… this service provides cancer information, practical information, emotional support, benefits/financial guidance or just a listening ear.
Talking to people ‘face to face’ can be very helpful so do check to see if you have any Local Macmillan Support in your area, do also check for a local Maggie's Centre as these folks are amazing.
((hugs))
