Caring for someone with advanced cancer

This information has been written for anyone who is caring for a person who is very ill with advanced cancer. The partner, relative or friend you are looking after may have been told his or her cancer has spread or come back, or perhaps that the cancer cannot be cured. You may still be trying to come to terms with this, longing to show how much you care and trying to plan how best to look after them and make them comfortable.

This section will help you by discussing the ways in which you can get support and by giving details of the many organisations which you might want to contact for help, information, or simply someone to talk to about how you feel.
