Hi Micky,

Supporting a loved one with a terminal illness can bring with it many different thoughts and emotions, it’s understandable that this news has left you feeling numb. Since January there has been the chemotherapy and the hopes and worries this can bring with it to focus on. Stopping treatment changes this and may be meaning that you have questions that feel overwhelming to think about?

Some people tell us that talking about how they are feeling has been helpful and we hope that others here on the community will share their experiences with you. You are also more than welcome to talk to us on the Support Line, either here on the community, through the webchat service or by calling us on Freephone 0800 090 2309.

Take care,

Claire – Support Line Officer
