Hi fudge it,

i don't have any experience I can share but you might find some help in the family and friends group, it's at https://community.macmillan.org.uk/cancer_experiences/being_a_relative_/

the following sites may be able to offer help:

you might also want to call the Macmillan helpline on 0808 808 0000. Do you have a maggies centre nearby? They are also a great service.

lots of love and I hope that you and your mum get some support through what must be a really tough time.
