In 2018, I stepped into a caring and supporting role for my parents. My Dad was diagnosed with lung cancer and was undergoing chemotherapy, and at about the same time, my Mum received a diagnosis of dementia. Previously, visits to my parents had been once or twice a month, as well as chats over the phone, meals out, etc.; this changed almost overnight. Following their diagnosis, I saw my parents up to three times a week, increasing to visiting most days. The visits were for food shopping, helping with household chores, and emotional support. On top of this, I was balancing my own home life and working full-time. Whilst this change to my circumstances was personally challenging, I am fortunate to work for Progress Housing Group, an organisation that is supportive and could offer help.
