Hi Anne10,

Welcome to Cancer Chat.

I'm sorry to hear you are going through what must be an incredibly difficult situation, and I can understand it must be hard to try to stay strong while balancing all your worries.

With what you say about your son just starting treatment and concerns about becoming ill, do discuss with his doctor what to potentially expect, and what support is available at any given time - if you haven't already. It's important you have the tools available to you, including all information possible.

You may also find it helpful to have a chat with one of our nurses. They're there to listen, offer support, and any advice where possible. If you'd like to do this, you can reach them on freephone 0808 800 4040 - Monday-Friday, 9-5.

I also hope this forum can be of some support to you. We're always here whenever you may need it, even if it's just to write things down.

You can use the search bar from the homepage of the forum to find other relevant discussions too.

Do keep us posted with how you're getting on. Wishing you all the best,

Ben
