I became a young widow and single mother to two children under five years of age when my husband died from brain cancer (GBM) in 2012.

I have created a blog which delves into the emotion-full experiences of cancer caring, grieving, solo parenting, and my life now. If you are interested in some of my stories you can find them at www.rainbowsandrollercoasters.com

Have you or your loved ones had an experience with palliative care?

Hi my name is Colin,

I recently stopped working to take care of family members that were diagnosed with prostate and lung cancer. They have lost their appetites and their tastes have changed quite significantly.

Please help!

My wife Barbara is now six months after a Whipple, amazing how your personal life changes and as a carer I am always alert to those changers.

I am caring for my mother who has had surgery for a large tumor on her tongue, needless to say her eating is limited to soft runny foods and her talking is very hard to understand. Her weight has dropped sufficiently and her energy levels are very low.

HI, Its been ages since we have last posted. As of early May mum had been in hospital with the last stages of pancreatic cancer. She finally passed away on the 17.6.16, this is the day she went to meet our heavenly father.
