  • Hi Gaynor,

    Welcome to Cancer Chat. I'm very sorry to read about your mum and what you're going through at the moment. I'm sure this must be incredibly tough and of course made more difficult with everything going on at the moment.

    Hopefully once she starts her treatment it will feel a little easier or more manageable due to the steps being taken. Try to take things one day at a time, and as you say keep as positive as possible while supporting your mum but also looking after yourself too.

    Do use this forum as much as you'd like at any point for any support.

    Wishing you all the best,

    Ben
