41 years old daughter with Stage 4 breast cancer

Hi daughter has just been diagnosed with stage four cancer with cells on liver, lung and lymph nodes on chest wall, really struggling to take this in and cope, she has 3 children aged 3, 9 and 19, how can I find the strength to help her she’s been through so much in the last year

  • Welcome to Cancer Chat muriel.jo004, although I'm really sorry to hear your daughter has been diagnosed with stage 4 breast cancer.

    I can't begin to imagine how difficult this must be you all but I'm glad you've reached out to us as so many of our members will understand what you're going through, so you are not alone muriel.jo004, and hopefully you will receive some support and advice from our community soon.

    I hope this guidance we have for family, friends and caregivers will be useful but if it would help to talk any of this through with one of our cancer nurses, they're available on 0808 800 4040. Their helpline is open Monday - Friday between 9a.m - 5p.m and they will do all they can to support you and help you figure out the best way you can be there for your daughter and grandchildren at this time.

    Kind regards,

    Steph, Cancer Chat Moderator
