A family member in their 80's has been diagnosed with cancer and has lost alot of weight very quickly. There collapsed last week but refuses to go to hospital.  He has blood tests tomorrow and hopefully will find out more. Just worried as he just wants to go and not get the help

  • Hello Denise-Jay

    I'm sorry to hear that your family member has been diagnosed with cancer and is struggling with symptoms at the moment. Hopefully the blood tests that they had yesterday will shed some light on what is going on for them and he will be offered the support that he needs. 

    If it would help you to chat things through with one of our nurses you're welcome to call them. I know they will be happy to listen and offer any advice, information and support they can. They're available Monday to Friday, 9am to 5pm, on 0808 800 4040. 

    Keep in touch Denise-Jay and let us know how you're all managing. 

    Sending my best wishes,
