  • Hi  and welcome to the Online Community but so sorry to hear about your mum’s diagnosis and ongoing health challenges.

    A cancer diagnosis(in the family can be very challenging but talking with others who are walking the same type of cancer support journey will help you navigate this difficult time.

    The Community has many support groups and when it comes to the practical challenges of supporting someone you may benefit from talking with others caring for family and friends so do check out our Carers only group where you will connect with others supporting family and friends

    You can then introduce yourself by putting up a ‘New Thread’ or hit the box with the X on the top right (phones), you could just copy and paste the text from this your first post. You can also join in with existing ‘Discussions’ by clicking on 'reply'. 

    It’s always good to talk so do call the Macmillan Support Services on 0808 808 00 00 - most services are open 8am to 8pm, 7 days a week Clicking here to see what is available. This service provides lots of cancer information, support, financial guidance or just a listening ear.
