When i first heard the word cancer i totally went to pieces and freaked out and could not handle it at all. But somehow since the diganosis ive got stronger and been able to deal with it better and been trying to help others cope!? My dad is half way thru his treatment right now, hes having chemo and radio therapy. He seemed ok at first and didnt really seem ill, but now he is suffering extreme tiredness and mouth and eye dryness and diarrhea. I think so far hes been putting a very brave face on but deep down hes terrified. I know im terrified! We have been told its been caught early so heres hoping it is and he will get the all clear. I will not be happy untill he does :-) xxx<div style="clear:both;"></div><img src="https://community.macmillan.org.uk/aggbug?PostID=228951&AppID=24108&AppType=Weblog&ContentType=0" width="1" height="1">Former Memberhttps://community.macmillan.org.uk/members/formermember
