Hi I am new to the group, my mum was diagnosed with bowl cancer and because of other help complications she can't be treated with chemotherapy.  She is going to receive end of life palliative care. We as a family are all in shock and mum is having a hard time coming to terms with her diagnosis. I am trying to be there for her but I am really struggling. 

  • 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.

    It sounds like you and your family are all going through an incredibly hard time right now.

    The online community is divided into different support forums so I'm going to recommend that you join the supporting someone with incurable cancer forum which is a safe and supportive place to discuss your worries and emotions as well as practical issues around palliative and end of life care.

    To join, just click on the link I've created and, once you've joined, you can start a new post in the same way as you did here and join in with existing conversations by clicking on 'reply'.

    If you have any problems finding your way around the community just drop me a reply and I'll do my best to help.

    Sending virtual (((hugs)))
