Skin cancer that has spread to brain and lymph nodes. Looking for advice about support.

Hello guys, my friend (29) has been diagnosed with skin cancer that has unfortunately spread to the brain, lymph nodes, and kidneys, apart from being prescribed codeine and steroids, he has no support from anyone, apart from family... what can be done about this? Can anyone point us in the right direction to get some professional advice please 

Thank you

  • Heya.

    This is my own advice in order to pass on. I happily recommend the website of Cancer Research UK. They have loads of good information and you can use this forum as well. MacMillan UK also have useful advice and information. Best wishes.

    On their website you can view information booklets then call or email the helpline. Here is the link to the website https://www.macmillan.org.uk. I hope this is a starting point for your friend. He may even want to read the skin cancer booklets. Aside from that, please tell us what tests have been performed. He needs an oncology referral pronto.
