Advice needed
Hi everyone,
My husband and I are in need of some advice on how to best help his mother while she is undergoing chemo/treatment for breast cancer.
My MIL was diagnosed with breast cancer about...
Thanks Anna, thats a good start to help us understand what will help and whats instore for the next few months.
Unfortunately my MIL is very anti-technology. We bought her a tablet when she was in hospital but she refuses to use it. It ended up being a very expensive paper weight!
I also printed out all the support groups in our state and highlighted the close ones but she has refused to make contact. Again, not sure if this is denial or because she is a bit of a hermit before the cancer came back.
I am going to ring her doctor today to try and get more information about her cycle etc. We need to know more in order to best help her through this period. She has already said she wants me to clean her house but I am pregnant and have been told that isnt probably a good idea. I know there are some people who offer discounted cleaning services for those undergoing treament so I will look at that for her.
