He lives in London & I live 3hrs away. How do I navigate this with accommodation costs, transport, work? I’ve investigated every option with accommodation. 
How do you do this? 

  • Hi  and a very warm welcome to the online community which I hope you'll find is both an informative and supportive place to be.

    I’m Anne, one of the Community Champions here on the Online Community, and although I've had different cancer diagnoses to your son I know all about the extra costs involved when you have a cancer diagnosis.

    As you know, the online community is divided into different support groups so I'm going to recommend that you also join and post in the family and friends group to see how others with a loved one dealing with cancer have managed accommodation, transport, etc. 

    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 son's diagnosis and proposed 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.
