Hi there. I have just joined and hope you're all doing ok? My Mum was diagnosed just over a year ago and has been told today that she needs to start treatment 😔 Please can you tell me what to expect, what this really means and what I can do to help her.

Many thanks x

Everyone seems to go down different paths when it comes to treatment, I'm now 3 years into mine & there really has been nothing too daunting. You just do what you gotta do.

The best thing you can do for her is just be there when she needs you & disappear when she needs that time with her thoughts, nothing worse than feeling smothered & no use at same time.

My thoughts to your family x

Not what you're looking for?
