Is there a support thread for caring parents with cancer?

I'm really not ready to navigate this journey, the thought of losing a parent is heartbreaking, but possibly losing them cancer is terrifying and I am so scared because I can see how scared they are and I don't know how to help them. I feel so alone. My other sibling can't cope at all with he news. I'm not sure how I'm supposed to prepare myself, how to support them and stay strong when all I want to do is cry and breakdown in front of them. I feel physically sick to the pit of my stomach most days 🥺

I'm so sorry that you are going through this.

I'd recommend having a look at the Macmillan website for support and accurate information. Their online community has forums both for different types of cancers and also to share cancer experiences - for carers, friends, relatives etc. You'll find people there who have been or are going through the same journey as you. You can also ask experts questions and phone or have an online chat with a support worker

Thank you, I will have a look. Feel a bit in limbo stage at the moment.
