Hi YoungDaddy,

Welcome to Cancer Chat. I'm so sorry to hear of what you're going through. In a way there are no words, but I wanted to send a reply to offer some support, as well as to say that we are always here when you need it.

This must be so incredibly difficult - especially, as you say, at this time of year. I am sure you are doing the best for your boy. It's important too to find outlets where you don't have to feel the need to be strong, and where you can take time to reflect, or to speak to others.

Hopefully you have others around you that you can speak to, such as friends and family. Please also seek support elsewhere as much as you need or want to. This can include using this forum to write things down and reach out to others.

If ever you want to talk things through with someone, you are always welcome to give our nurses a call. You can reach them on freephone 0808 800 4040 - Monday-Friday, 9-5.

As I say, I hope this forum can be of some small help.

Do keep in touch. Wishing you all the best,

Ben
