  • Hello Sjk88, 

    I am so sorry to hear about your mum and that she is in hospital again due to a blockage in her bowel - this is so heartbreaking for you and it must be so hard to see her like this unable to eat or drink. 

    If you would like to talk things through with someone, our cancer nurses are only a free phone call away on 0808 800 4040 - their line is open Monday to Friday from 9am to 5pm and they may be able to give you some advice on this or point you in the right direction. 

    I hope that you find out more soon and that your mum improves and she can have some treatment. We're thinking of you and your mum having to go through this during these challenging times and I hope that you will hear from other members who have found themselves in a similar place before and that they will be along soon to share their story with you. 

    Best wishes,
