Hello Everyone, I'm a newbie hoping to find some advice and important information to hopefully help me and my family come to terms with our current struggles.
Basically my Father has terminal lung cancer and also has a form of severe confusion/dimentia caused by it. My Mother is his primary carer and we are all helping out as a family. We were coping well up until recently when she collapsed in pain and was rushed to hospital. It has become clear that she has late stage breast cancer. She has had a bone scan and we are waiting to be told the results on Christmas eve.
I think what I'm asking for is to point me in the right direction for relevant information and maybe some group chats that i could speak to people in a similar situation to ours.
Thankyou.......
Hi and a warm welcome to the Online Community, a Community that no one really looks to see themselves joining, and so sorry to hear about your mum and dad’s diagnosis.
A cancer diagnosis in the family can bring a lot of confusion, stress and many questions but talking with other people who are on the same type of journey can help a lot.
This Community is organised into various support groups and I see you have found the best Cancer specific Groups.
You may also find our Carers only, Family and friends and Supporting someone with incurable cancer groups a great benefit as you will connect with others supporting family through their cancer journey.
It’s always good to talk and the Macmillan Support Services provides lots of information, support or just a listing ear.
Most services are open 8am to 8pm, 7 days a week and it's free to call on 0808 808 00 00 have a look by Clicking here to see what is available 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.
