Hi 

My brother is at the end of his life, I am his power of attorney, what can I expect to happen and how best can I help him?  Thanks all

  • Hi  and welcome to the Online Community although so sorry to hear about your brother, this is such a hard time for all the family but I do hope you will find lots of comfort and support here on the Online Community. 

    The New to Community area is like our reception where we can signpost our many dedicated support groups and when it comes to the specific practical challenges of supporting someone on a cancer journey like this you may benefit from joining our supportive Carers only and Supporting someone with incurable cancer groups where you will connect with others supporting family and friends

    If you'd like to connect in with a group, you need to join the group. First click on the Green link I have created above. Then once the page opens click on the black banner that says [click to join] at the bottom, or the [Join] button under "Group tools."

    You can then introduce yourself by putting up a ‘new post’ by clicking in the box near the top right with + New  (Computers) or + (Mobile Devices). You will then see a dropdown menu so hit ‘Start a Discussion in New here, say hello’ and you are ready to go.

    You could copy and paste the text from this your first post. You can also search through existing ‘Discussions’ and click [reply] if you want to put up a comment.

    The Macmillan Support Line is open 8am-8pm (timings may differ across services) 7 days a week on 0808 808 00 00 or via web chat. This service provides cancer information, emotional support, benefits and financial guidance or just a listening ear.

    Always around if you need further help in navigating the community.

    All the very best ((hugs))
