Is there anyone else is walsall West Midlands who is looking after a relative or friend who is suffering with or who had cancer? I would love to be able to talk to someone who understands. My husband won't talk to me I can't talk to my mum (she's the one who's got cancer) even though she tells me I can, I just feel like sometimes it'll be good to talk. 

  • Hello H_L

    I'm sorry to hear that your Mum has cancer. It's understandable that this is a difficult time for you and that you'd like to connect with others who might understand. 

    I did find this information about a Macmillan information and support hub in your area. It's worth getting in touch with them as they will be aware of any carer support groups/meetings in your local area that you can access. You may also want to have a look at the Carers Trust website. 

    Hopefully some of our members who have experience of caring for a loved one will post a reply to say hello soon. In the meantime, if you'd like to chat with one of o our nurses you're welcome to call them on 0808 800 4040, Monday to Friday 9 am to 5 pm. 

    I hope this helps. 

    Best wishes,

    Hi my mom lives in Walsall and she also has cancer and I have been looking after her for a number of months now so I think I can relate to how your feeling 

    I have spoken to the macmillan hub at Walsall manor she was a lovely helpful lady she can help with practical and financial advice also

    Hi, I'm from Walsall, and my dad has cancer. I'm not his carer, as my mom does all that for him and he's still fairly capable and young. But I know how hard it is as a family, I'm happy to chat with you.
