Hello Deedees and welcome to our friendly forum,

It does sound like you need to talk to someone right now about everything you are going through. Given your particular situation and the fact that both your parents are going through this at the same time, I would suggest you give our expert nurses a ring and discuss all this with them.

They are available Monday to Friday 9am to 5pm on 0808 800 4040 (free to call from a UK landline).

You will also get to talk to many others on this forum who are in a similar situation at the moment, looking after a loved one with cancer so I will now let them come and share their own story with you.

Best wishes,

Lucie, Cancer Chat Moderator
