Brothers cancer

Hi D20 welcome to the forum. Its hard for young people to grasp why they cant see people, as it doesn't make any sense to them sometimes.  Macmillan do have booklets for use with youngsters about Cancer if thats of any use for you? If you wanted to give them a call they can get these out to you? 08088080000.

Do you have the availability to use facetime or skype to speak with grandad and see him even if its not in person, would that be of any help for them ? 

Thank you so much, that’s a great idea, they could then chat to him when he’s feeling a bit better after each chemo 

I will also ring and ask for  the booklet xx

I know I haven’t been on here for a while, but my twin  brother has now had his chemo and another CT scan , his operation was scheduled for next Wednesday ( 8th March) and it’s just been cancelled due to junior doctors going on strike, as you can imagine he’s absolutely devastated as he suffers from anxiety as well, he has cancer of the oesophagus and in preparation for the op was on an 800 calorie diet to shrink his liver 

everything’s up in the air now , does anyone know if he should stick to this diet or increase his calorie intake until he has another date ? 

love my bruv so much and want to help him in whatever way I can 

thank you x 

So sorry to hear about your brother. It is bad enough waiting for diagnosis but to have an operation delayed too. I pray he gets his operation quickly.
