My only child has recently been told he has terminal cancer and I don't know how to deal with it. I wonder if there are other parents on here going through a similar hell?

  • Hi  and I am sorry to read about your child’s diagnosis.

    I have no experience to bring to the table but let’s see if anyone with first hand experience picks up on your post.

    You may want to join and put up the same post in our dedicated….

       Supporting someone with incurable cancer

    …… support group as this will widen your support base.

    As always the Macmillan Support Line is open between 8am-8pm (timings may differ across services) 7 days a week on 0808 808 00 00…… this service provides cancer information, practical information, emotional support, benefits and financial guidance or just a listening ear.

    Talking to people ‘face to face’ can be very helpful so do check to see if you have any Local Support in your area, do also check for a local Maggie's Centre as these folks are amazing.
