  • Hello Sophie,

    Welcome to our forum! I thought I would bump your message as I am sure our lovely forum members will have some great suggestions for you.

    I am sorry to hear about your grandma's diagnosis and it must be quite distressing for you to see her struggling to breathe. It's a shame it's so difficult for you to talk to your family. Sometimes talking to people on this forum who can understand how you are feeling at the moment can help a lot, in some ways even more than talking to your own family.

    I hope your grandma's chemotherapy goes well. Do you know when she starts the treatment?

    Very best wishes,
