  • Hi MFD,

    Welcome to Cancer Chat. I'm so sorry to hear of the situation with your brother and that the nurses are struggling to get the pain under control. This must be a lot for you to process and deal with.

    I can understand it must be really difficult and you must be experiencing a range of emotions. The anger can be a natural response, but do of course try to be kind to yourself as well - it sounds like you are supporting him and doing what you can so try not to be too hard on yourself. I know this can be easier said than done.

    I hope that this forum can be of some small help to you, even if it's just a case of writing things down. Hopefully you'll get some more replies to your post soon, but otherwise do have a browse of the forum and other discussions and people to connect with, if this is something that would be helpful for you.

    Wishing you all the best,

    Ben
