Hi,  my dad was recently diagnosed with stage 4. bowel cancer that has spread to his liver.  Found out last week that there is no treatment available so only palliative care.  Its going to take a couple of weeks for the Macmillan nurse to be  in touch.  In the meantime has anyone any advice on how best to support my parents process this news - I’m afraid to go to their home due to the risk of Coronavirus.  Thanks so much x

  • Hi again , so good to see you are getting some great support.

    If you want send a member a Friend request click on THEIR Community name and just under their name you will see ‘Add Friend’ Click on this and follow the instructions and once that person ‘accepts’ your request you are up and running.
