  • Welcome to Cancer Chat Woofie although I'm sorry for the reason you're posting. It sounds like your daughter and her family have a lot to contend with at the moment.

    I'm sure some of our members who have been in a similar situation will offer their support and advice soon but I just wanted to share some information from our website that I hope will help. First is our guide on talking to children about cancer and second is our section about coping emotionally. Finally, I wanted to let you know that Macmillan have financial advisers you can chat to on the phone so if your daughter gives them a call I'm sure they will do all they can to help.

    I really hope this proves to be useful and wish you all the very best at this difficult time.

    Kind regards,
