Exhausted from caring for daughter with mycosis fungoides

Caring for my 30year old daughter who has a incurable cancer of the blood and immune system  it's called mycosis fungoides and caring for her 4 year old daughter full time because she is to weak to look after her right , I went to see my granddaughters xxmas play today it was bitter sweet because her mum wasn't able to come , I feel mentally and physically exhausted  but have to carry on 

  • I'm really sorry about your daughter's diagnosis and the impact it is having on you all Islington.

    As many of our members on the forum have found out, being a carer can be very tough and hopefully some of them will be along soon to offer their support and advice.

    I'm not sure if you've thought about seeking any practical support but we have some information on our website just here if you'd like to find out more and some advice on how to look after yourself during this difficult time as well.

    If you have any questions or would like to chat to someone about your situation do be sure to give our cancer nurses a call. Their number is 0808 800 4040, and phone lines are open Monday - Friday between 9a.m - 5p.m.

    Best wishes to you all,
