Living with cancer

Living with cancer, and going through treatment, can be physically and emotionally exhausting. Treatment side effects can make it hard to keep up with everyday tasks, even when someone is usually very independent.

Practical help at home can take the pressure off, leaving you and your family with more energy for what matters most.

What families often tell us is hard

  • Severe tiredness during and after treatment
  • Difficulty with washing, dressing, shopping or cooking
  • Eating and drinking well when appetite is low
  • Getting ready for hospital appointments
  • Family carers needing a rest

How our carers can help

  • Help with personal care on good days and bad days
  • Preparing light meals and encouraging drinks
  • Housekeeping, laundry and shopping
  • Company and emotional support
  • Overnight or live-in care during harder periods
  • Respite so family carers can rest

Our carers provide personal care and practical support, not nursing or medical treatment. We work alongside your GP, nurses and specialist teams. This page is general information, not medical advice: please speak to your GP, call NHS 111, or call 999 in an emergency.
