  • Hi Sakchi welcome to the group, but so sorry you find yourself here. 
    I am not sure what your home situation is , whether you have family to assist, but if you give the Macmillan support line a call they will be able to help you with any information regarding help at home. It’s a free call number and they are available 7 days a week from 8am until 8pm on 0808 808 00 00.
