dread

1 minute read time.

well my pops had another bad day today, he broke down telling me how scared he is. It took all my courage to be strong for him and not cry infront of him. We had a good talk and i talked him back into being positive again. I know things arnt looking positive or so other family members keep telling me but im NOT GIVING UP. I have fought this long and im not letting him go without a fight even if it kills me. Hope is all i have left now and it seems the only thing that is keeping me going. I hate what this cancer is doing to him and get so angry, mostly with the wrong people and i dont want to push my husband away who is so supportive but i just cant help it. I suppose im not dealing with this as good as i thought i was but im trying my best. I know i can talk to my husband but for some reason i cant seem to do so or anyone else for that  matter (apart from on here) which is so strange as im a very open person. I think its cos i dont want to show them im not as strong as they think, anyways its the scan on thursday so i hope its not long for the results. Had the doctor out to pop as hes in alot of pain so hes on morphine now which is helping thank god. Theres one thing i dont want and thats him to suffer and ill do whatever i can to make sure that doesnt happen. Sorry rant over.

    Hi Nicola,

    You try and take things easy I know that  its easy to say. Its good that you and your Dad can talk.

    How are the rest of the Family coping?. Have a sit down with them and have a chat let them know how you feel and how they feel. Also try and get your Husband involved he may be feeling out of things at this time. Whatever you decide to do all the best.

    Take care and be safe Big Hugs Love Sarsfield.xx

    Rant all you want Nicola it will do you good to get your feeling out. Its very scarey when the person we love is so ill and in pain. You are doing your best for your dad so keep on doing that, he would be lost without you. I do hope the medication he has now will ease his pain, by doing that he will feel more positive, nothing worse then pain to give you a feeling of giveing up. I do hope the news is better after the scan, please keep us up to date and we are all here for you .

    Love And Hugs Lucylee. xxxx

    The family are not very close sars and dont show much emotion to each other where im the oppisote, My nans nearly 80 and is normally such a fighter with everything but has took this really hard so im suporting her the best i can too. I know i need to talk to john (husband) i just cant seem to het round to it and dont really know where to start.

    Thanks lucy your very right it is scary, ive never been through anything worse and fear is a constant battle as much as the cancer is. His pains under control now thanks and im hoping the scan brings better news thankyou.

    Lots of love and hugs xxxxx

    Hi Nicola,

    Im sorry to hear your Family are not close. Its a pity they dont have your Strength,caring, love, and understanding. You seem to be in a situation that your Gran has only you to rely on. My thoughts are with you and your Gran.
