Hello LoopyLinda18,

I am so sorry to hear about your mum. She is lucky to have such a supportive daughter who will look after her so well. We have some very useful information on our website aimed at carers like you and you can find out more here about the kind of help that is available at home for someone with cancer which I am sure you are already aware of.

It is important though not to forget to care for the carer - and even though you may want to focus all your energies on your mum, it is important to find a little time to look after yourself too and you can read more about this on this page.

I hope this helps a little and that you will get to talk here to other people who have been by a loved one's side and that you can support one another at a time when you need it the most.

We are all here for you anytime you need to talk.

Best wishes,

Lucie, Cancer Chat Moderator
