fears and tears

Less than one minute read time.

Took my pop to the hospital today to talk about chemo, We were feeling great thinking some treatment was finally gonna get started only to be told he cant have it because hes to weak. my pop, nan and me were devastated there never seems to be any good news. Thet think the cancer has spread to so off he goes for another scan. Im trying to be so strong for them both but its hard too when we keep getting knocked back. Im so frightned im going to lose him and just cant get my head round the prospect of maybe having to live life without him in it, I know im being so selfish and i hate myself for it.

    Hi Nicola,

    You are not being selfish,but you are loving and caring and most of all you are being strong for both of them. Dont forget about your own health, you have to look after yourself as well.

    Take care and be safe Big Hugs Love Sarsfield.xx

  • Nicola, you sound a very caring person and it is obvious you care very much for your Pop. Unfortunately love alone can't cure cancer so you can only be there to love aand support him during this difficult time.

I dont want them to see me cry and scared as ive to be strong for my pop. He depends on me alot im giving him all the hope,comfort and love like he has given me all my life. Ill care for him and my nan the best i possible can. Im the person i am today because of them two and it makes me so proud to call them grandparents (parents) xxxxx
