How to help someone with cancer?

Hello.

Im really sorry if this sounds silly but My mum hasnt been officially diagnosed (waiting to speak to the doctor) but its looking like she has leukeima. She's had 2 different types of cancer in the past so obviously we are all extremely worried (I was only young when she had it in the past) Im just looking for advice and tips on what i can do that will genuinely help her if we get bad news. If she has to have chemo should I take her sugary snacks and drinks? I dont really know where to start. I just want to be prepared so I can help.

  • Hi LC

    For the sake of your own health take one step at a time. When your mum receives her diagnosis you can ask her what, if any, help she needs. Sugary drinks and snacks are not good for anybody. People with cancer need a healthy balanced diet. So for now wait and see how things turn out and try to keep your anxiety levels down.
