Hi,
I am all Googled out and don't know where to turn.
My friend was diagnosed with Ovarian Cancer when she was 4 months Pregnant - She continued the pregnancy and gave birth to a full term healthy baby. She has recently had surgery and is back home, but in order to recover she needs help with her baby. The father of the baby (her then fiance) is having problems dealing with the situation and is not around so she is practically on her own. She has a 5 year old from previous marriage but I fear this is all too much for her.
Financially, her maternity full pay is coming to end this month so she can not afford to pay for help. The Macmillan nurse can only help her but what she really needs is someone to look after her 3 month old baby for a few hours a day as she has ruptured her stitches once already and I'm really scared if she doesn't rest she will cause herself an injury.
I don't live near her and have a 9 month old myself so know just how hard a newborn is to deal with without being drowsy from treatment drugs and being told to have complete bed rest!
Is there a charity that can help her? Any suggestions, advice is welcomed.
Thx
