Hello

I'm trying to find some help and advice on how I go about arranging a birthday getaway for a family member who has been diagnosed with cancer. As we know this will likely be their last birthday we wanted to make it an extra special one but are finding it difficult as we don't know enough information as to when nurses are due to call in, appointments etc. 

Can anyone suggest any advice?

Thank you
