Hi and a very warm welcome to the online community which I hope you'll find is both an informative and supportive place to be.
The online community is divided up into different support groups and I can see that you've already joined and posted in the breast cancer group which is a great place to ask questions and share experiences with others who have breast cancer.
You might also benefit from joining the carers only group which is a safe and supportive place to discuss your worries and to find out how others are coping.
Clicking on the link I've created will take you to the group where you can then join and post in the same way as you did here. You can also join in with existing conversations by clicking on 'reply'.
It would be great if you could pop some information about about your mum's diagnosis and treatment plan into your profile as it really helps others when replying to you and also when looking for someone on a similar pathway. It also means that you don't have to keep repeating yourself. To do this click on your username and then select 'Profile'. You can amend it at any time and if you're not sure what to write you can take a look at mine by clicking on my username.
If you have any difficulty navigating the community just drop me a reply and I'll be pleased to help
