  • Hello Sidecar,

    Welcome to Cancer Chat and I hope posting has helped in some way.

    I'm sorry to hear about your sister and how this is affecting you and your parents. It can be difficult to know what to do in situations like this, but it's important to give yourself the time and space to process things. We have some guidance around family, friends carers and cancer on our website and the forum is always here whenever you need it.

    If you'd like to speak to one of our cancer nurses about anything, you can call the free helpline on 0808 800 4040. Lines are open from 9 to 5 Monday to Friday.

    All the best,
