  • Hello K-MooreBon

    I'm sorry to hear that your sister has metastatic bone cancer and that over the past few months, her health has declined significantly. It's obviously been a worrying time for you all and understandable that you have concerns. 

    How did the appointment with the Consultant go on Wednesday? I hope that they were able to answer any questions you had and that appropriate care arrangements are being made to help your sister whilst she is so unwell. 

    If you'd like to talk things through with one of our nurses you can call them on 0808 800 4040, Monday to Friday 9am to 5pm. I know they will be happy to listen and offer any information, advice and support they can. 

    Sending you all my best wishes,
