If you’re following Cain’s prostate cancer storyline in Emmerdale, you may have seen in last night’s episode that Cain rejected his friends’ efforts to help or show support during his recovery from surgery.
When someone has cancer, it can affect the whole family and the wider network of people around them. Everyone will react differently and people will deal with stress, upset and worry the best way they know how. We know it can be hard to watch a loved one go through cancer, so please remember there’s support out there for you too.
If someone you care about has been diagnosed with cancer, we’ve got practical advice on how you can help support them, but we also have support available for you - as we know a cancer diagnosis doesn’t only affect the person with cancer.
