  • Hi Carly,

    Welcome to this friendly forum and sorry you have not yet recieved a reply for it has been very busy the past few days. I an sorry to read about your sons cancer; he must be very brave to have undergone so much treatment. It must also be incredibly hard for you to see him going trough all this treatment. It is often the case that the needs of people like yourself tend to be overlooked  by the medical proffesion. Plus they often dont have the time or the resources.. For you need emotional support to help you through this most difficult of times. I know from the experinace of so many lovely people on here that talking on here to others who know how we're feeling helps a lot as we dont feel so alone and so isolated.

    Please keep in contact and let us know how both you and your son are getting on. Sending best wishes and kind thoughts your way, Brian.
