New here? Feel free to introduce yourself here 👋

Hello @hlb,

Thank you so much for sharing your experience around your eldest son’s acute lymphoblastic leukaemia and talking so honestly about how you’ve been feeling throughout. Even though your son is about to take a fantastic step forward in his life going to medical school, I cannot imagine how stressful the situation has been for you, and continues to be. Have you had access to any counselling or support services that have helped at all? I doubt you are alone in your struggle to move forward, and I imagine this may resonate with many carers who join our community. Perhaps it would be helpful for you to open up this conversation within the ‘Caring for someone with blood cancer’ section on the forum so other people can begin talking about how they’ve experienced and coped with similar feelings too?

@hlb If you would find it helpful to talk with a blood cancer support specialist either now or in the future, you are very welcome to get in touch via email support@bloodwise.org.uk, or via our Support Line on 0808 2080 888 (Mon to Fri 10am-4pm).
