Hello everyone and I am so glad I found this page! I've been looking for a place to talk and hopefully get feedback! My oldest son 20, has CP and they currently believe he has cancer. I am at a total loss on where to start or what to do...please help!!

The best place to start is with Macmillan they can put you in touch with everyone you need and get you advice on who best to turn to. I hope this helps- its a battle you really have to push to get help and you will need to make lots of phone calls but you should get somewhere once you ask for help.
