While DP is undergoing his first session of chemo for advanced bile duct cancer. Surrounded by happy smiley people and feeling very scared and alone. Everything about this scary journey has been a battle. Every bit of news has been bad. I just wish I had a friend to lean on right now.

Have you been able to speak to the McMillan nurses? They are a great support for families at these times xxx

((Hugs))

McMillan seem to be pot luck, ours aren't so good. We have however had amazing support from our local hospice.

My DH Is in the hospice fir Xmas (and probably New Year) and they are amazing places.

This must be very regional. The one my DH was allocated works 1 day a week and was off on holiday for the entire time my DH was having chemo. Voice mail saying don't leave a message. Maybe good at mainstream cancers with big numbers of people?
