Hi, new to the group as my mother in law has just been diagnosed with cancer, most likely in several locations of her body. Not sure what help we can get in Spain
Hi and a warm welcome to the Online Community although I am so sorry to hear about your mother in laws diagnosis. A cancer diagnosis like this in the family can be so stressful and challenging but I do hope you find the community a safe place to get support and ask your questions.
You may want to join and post in our Living with cancer outside the UK group as you may be able to talk with others who have had treatment in Spain.
If you'd like to connect in with a group click on the Green (Bold) link I have created above. Then once the group 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 or + (Depending on the device you are using) and you are ready to go.
You could copy and paste the text from this post into your new post and as always you can reply to existing ‘Discussions’ by click [reply].
When it comes to the practical and emotional challenges of supporting someone you may benefit from joining our general Family and friends group where you will connect with others supporting family and friends
The Macmillan Support Line is open 8am-8pm (timings may differ across services) 7 days a week on 0808 808 00 00 or via Webchat and Email too. This service provides cancer information, practical information, emotional support or just a listening ear and our Ask an Expert section may be helpful but do allow a few working days for a reply.
Always around if you need further help in navigating the community.
Wishing you all the very best.
