Hello Mommabear81 and welcome to the Cancer Chat community.

I'm really sorry to hear that a member of your family was diagnosed with stomach cancer earlier this year and that the cancer has got worse.

This must be such a difficult time waiting for the results of their latest tests to find out what happens next, but I hope it helps to know that we are here for you Mommabear81 and sending all our support your way.

I hope this information we have for family and friends and how to talk to children about cancer will be helpful, but I'm sure some of our members who have been in a similar position with their family members will stop by soon to offer their thoughts and advice.

If it would help to talk things through with someone, do give our cancer nurses a call. They're available on 0808 800 4040, Monday - Friday between 9a.m - 5p.m and they will do all they can to support you and your family at this time.

Coping with a family member's diagnosis and supporting them and other family members on this journey can be tough, but with us by your side you are not alone.

Kind regards,

Steph, Cancer Chat Moderator
