Hello Vixstar,

I'm very sorry to hear about your mum's diagnosis and the impact this news is having on you. Do contact the hospital if there are any changes in her symptoms before the appointment so this can be noted and her medical team are there to support you both. If you'd like to read more about palliative care, you can our website. You can also find advice for family, friends and carers on how to support a loved one with cancer, which you can refer to at any time. Our team of cancer nurses also offer free anonymous advice via a helpline, if you or your mum wish to talk through anything. You can call on 0808 800 4040 and lines are open 9 to 5 Monday to Friday. 

Best wishes,

Moderator Anastasia
