Hi sorry if this is not the right forum, my mum has just been diagnosed with kidney cancer and is due an op, was meant to be next month but they have brought it forward to Wednesday., I live away from her and she needs to isolate after covid test this weekend, I don't know what to do or say any help please, again sorry if I'm in the wrong place xx

  • Hi there

    There is no right thing to say (I know that from being on the other end). Knowing the you care and want to be with her every step of the way is what she needs. When you can visit her - seeing people makes me realise how much they care. And look after yourself - cancer affects everyone not just the person who has it

  • Hi there MichH,  Suffolkflyer here, wise words indeed from Neil_8307. Your  Mum, will know yiou are concerned and your love will shine through. I am quite a bit further down the road than  your Mother and the care and concern by my wife, adult children and friends always comes through. Take care of yourself as well.
