Hello NicJT,

I noticed you haven't had a reply to your post just yet so I wanted to stop by to reassure you that your post has been seen and to let you know how sorry I am to hear about your mum's cancer diagnosis.

Finding out your mum's tumour was cancerous and at stage 3 must have been very difficult. No doubt the both of you are contending with a lot of thoughts and emotions right now but I'm glad you've reached out as so many of our members will know what you're going through, so you are not alone, and hopefully you will receive some support and advice from our community soon.

I hope this information we have about taking care of yourself and supporting a loved one with cancer will help as well but if either of you would like to talk things through with one of our cancer nurses, you can give them a call on 0808 800 4040. The helpline is open Monday - Friday between 9a.m - 5p.m and our nurses will do all they can to support you and answer any other questions you may have at this time.

The road ahead will be tough but we are sending you all our strength and support and wishing you both all the best on this journey.

Kind regards,

Steph, Cancer Chat Moderator
