Support for Carers?

Hi, 

My dad has had cancer for six years now, but things have deteriorated rapidly and I am struggling to cope. I am 24, still living at home with mum , dad and sister and feel I don't have anybody I can be truly honest about my feelings with, in regard to my dads deteriorating health.

Does anybody know any good services for those caring for cancer patients?

Right now I am desperate for any information, I just don't know what to do with myself!

    Hi,

    Check out your local MacMillan or Maggies services - they'll be able to point you in the right direction - his GP should be able to do the same. Quite often people are offered help when first diagnosed and refuse it at the time - it's never to late to be referred by the GP.

    Good luck

    Dave

    PS just google macmillan followed by your town's name
