A dear close relative of mine has been diagnosed with end stage cancer
Trying to cope and be there for my husband and father in-law is tough going.
Not to mention that I am trying to look after myself as well who struggles with a chronic lung condition
Hi
I haven't been in your position, as it was me that had cancer, but I noticed that your post hadn't had any responses. By replying to you it will 'bump' it back to the top of the page where it'll be seen again.
When a member of your family has cancer it can be an extremely stressful time for everyone. It's natural that you want to try and support everyone but you need to look after yourself too. This information from Macmillan gives information on getting support and looking after yourself.
Sending a supportive ((hug))
