Hi Christine-1959 and welcome to the Cancer Chat community.

I'm really sorry to hear your brother is now receiving palliative care for bowel cancer. This must be incredibly difficult but our members are here for you Christine, and hopefully those who have been in a similar position with their siblings, friends or loved ones will stop by soon to offer their support and advice.

I hope this guidance we have about taking care of yourself will help you at this time but if you would like to talk any of this through with one of our cancer nurses, you can give them a call on 0808 800 4040, Monday - Friday between 9a.m - 5p.m. They're very insightful and will do all they can to support you at this very challenging time.

Be kind to yourself Christine, and remember that with us by your side you don't have to go through this alone.

Kind regards,

Steph, Cancer Chat Moderator
