    I'm so very sorry to hear that your Son's diagnosis has changed and that he's now on the palliative care pathway. 

    We have some information on our website about clinical trials that you may find helpful but do encourage your son to speak to his Consultant about all options that may be available to him. It may be that he wants to request a second opinion with another specialist. 

    If you'd like to talk things through with one of our team of nruses you're welcome to call them on 0808 800 4040, Monday to Friday 9 am to 5 pm. I'm sure they will offer any information, advice, and support that they can. 

    Best wishes,
