My mother has just been diagnosed with liver cancer and given 12 months to live, she is finding it very difficult to get out of her armchair. Is there any help or assistance to get her a rise and recline chair as we are on a low income. Many Thanks for any help
Hi and welcome to the Online Community, although I am always sorry to see folks finding us and so sorry to hear about your mothers diagnosis.
A terminal 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 Liver cancer group as this is the place where you will connect with others walking the treatment journey both as patient or family.
