hello,
all new to this so lets hope someone replies so i know ive done it correctly ha!
my dad got diagnosed with advanced liver cancer and bowel cancer, bowel was first 2months ago, large tumour, liver found later, now has temp stoma awaiting the go ahead for chemo. i look after him every day now, as well as my 11month old boy -who has got me through most times with a smile-he has gone down hill very quickly from the extremly active man he used to be. hard looking after him. however doing the everyday things for him and helping in any way i can helps me get through the day without balling again!
We have some family and friends support, he has convinced himself he is going to die, understandable, no1 has said that however.never quite sure what to say or how to be when he's feeling rubbish,or whats going through hes head.
yesterday i was diagnosed with 1a1 g3 cervical cancer. so maybe i will understand a bit more now!
i am 25 and have 1child. i seem to be coping too well at the moment but not going to worry about that now as im sure it will hit me when im on a hospital bed having yet more doctors and nurses have a look up there ...honestly if i charged i would be rich this past year!!!! :-) humour is one of the keys to it -ive got to find the rest!
oh wat is going on so unreal, been so angry about my dad he is superman to me and my brother such a fit and healthy man too and only 58 :-(
they said theyre going to throw the works at me with the aim of getting rid of it asap.
i no its too early to think about it but they mentioned possible histerectomy, i really want more children in a few years time and will be devastated if i cant, i am extremley greatful, everyday for my beautiful little boy.
is this my life or am i writing or a story??
