Hi Chloe and welcome to the Cancer Chat forum.

I'm very sorry to hear your dad was diagnosed with stage 4 lung cancer last month and that you don't know where to turn or what to do.

This must be incredibly difficult, especially when you have your mum and brother to worry about as well, so it's completely understandable, and natural, to be feeling like this but I hope the replies you have received from some of our members already have helped you feel less alone and can give you some strength at this very testing time.

If you want to talk any of this through with one of our cancer nurses, they're available on 0808 800 4040, Monday - Friday between 9a.m - 5p.m. They are very easy to talk to and will do all they can to support you and help you figure out what your next steps will be.

I'm not sure from your post if your brother is getting any help or support with his mental health and addictions but if not, I hope these resources provided by the mental health charity Mind will be a good place to start.

Be kind to yourself Chloe, and remember that we will always be here for you.

Kind regards,

Steph, Cancer Chat Moderator
