So, today is the first day of my step dad's diagnosis. He was diagnosed with pancreatic cancer that they think has spread to his liver. I'm unsure why I'm writing this blog, I'm hoping that it will help me cope with this situation so that I can be strong for him and the rest of my family. At the moment I'm just really angry, I keep asking myself why do bad things happen to good people? Anyone else experience this anger and upset... How did you deal with it? He has an appointment this week to discuss things further so I guess we're going to have to just go from there.
Acknowledging things is always the hardest part.

Hello,
My sister has just been diagnosed with pancreatic cancer ( 5 days ago)and yes lots of crying but it gets better with each day, I have let myself cry when i need to , don't suppress it.My sister has said matter of factly as she is one of 3 sisters and cancer statistics it was bound to be one of us and it is her and yes i am angry hurt etc especially as she is healthy etc so why her but these things happen for no particular reason.
i am also waiting for that appointment when things will be clearer so dreading the phone call as i live 40 miles away..My tip for sleeping though is to think of a special event such as a wedding etc and try to work out the ages of all that attended, you might fall asleep whilst you are trying to do this.Also eat well , look after yourself and try some exercise because this is helping me.
