  • Hi Ella

    Welcome to Cancer Chat.

    There is a website here that you can access called riprap.

    It is for teenagers whose parents are affected by cancer.

    There is a forum like this where you can chat, you can also get information and advice.

    I can understand why you would find it difficult to concentrate at times and I'm sure your school would understand this too.

    Have you told anyone at your school about what is going on at home? If the school knows what is happening they will be able to support you.

    Please come and share your feelings anytime you find it helpful,

    Best wishes

    Jane
