Advice please on coping with mother at 84 with ovarian cancer that has spread
Hi Snowwhit and welcome to the Online Community, although I am always sorry to see folks finding us and so sorry to hear about your mum’s Ovarian Cancer diagnosis.
A cancer diagnosis brings a lot of confusion, stress and many questions but talking with other people who are on the same type of journey helps a lot.
The Community has various cancer specific support groups so can I direct you to our Ovarian cancer group as this is the place where you will connect with others walking the treatment journey both as patient or family.
Follow the link I've created above then choose ‘click to join' when the page opens.
You can then introduce yourself and post questions selecting '+New' or '+' (depending on your device) you can also join in with existing discussions by clicking on 'reply'.
You may also find our Carers only and Family and friends groups a great benefit as you will connect with others supporting family through their cancer journey.
It’s always good to talk - our Macmillan Support Services provides lots of ways to connect. The service is open every day 8am to 8pm and it's free to call on 0808 808 00 00. Clicking here will give you more information.
You can also email them, use the online chat and we also have our Ask an Expert section, but do allow two working days for replies from our expert team.
All the very best.
