Hi, I am a 68 year old grandma bringing up my two grandaons. I lost my 43 year old son to MND 16 months ago and now care for his children. I was diagnosed with terminal cancer a few days ago and am looking for some support and guidance. I'm not sure how to use this group and any advice would be great. Thank You xx
Hi and welcome to the Online Community, although I am sorry to see you finding us and so so sorry to hear about your diagnosis.
A cancer diagnosis indeed brings a lot of confusion, stress and many questions but I found talking with other people who are on the same type of journey helped a lot.
The Community has many dedicated support groups so can I direct you to our very supportive Living with incurable cancer - incurable patients only
Follow the link I've created above, join the group, then hit ‘start a discussion’ and you are ready to go.

It’s always good to talk, so can I highlight the Macmillan Support Line on 0808 808 00 00 This service covers Emotional Support, Practical Information. Clinical Information, Financial Support and Work Guidance mostly open 8.00 to 8.00
All the very best.
