    Hello and a warm welcome to Cancer Chat, Myrna.

    I'm sorry to hear that both your bother-in-law and sister are going through cancer treatment at the moment, that sounds like a really tough situation.

    I've had a look for some information on our website about getting support, and I think Coping practically is probably a good place to start. It includes Support at home for you and your family, which explains the different types of help that are available - from Macmillan and Marie Curie nurses through to social services. 

    Macmillan also has some really good info about looking after someone with cancer, which you may find helpful. 

    I do hope you're able to get the advice and support your family needs very soon.

    With best wishes,
