my dad is going to die from cancer that it's a fact there is nothing we can do to stop it, at the moment we have time but it will run out i just don't want to wasted it
the thing that scares me the most is that one day i will not be able to remember him properly, i just don't want to forget anything
If you have anything you did with your dad or anyone to help you remember them, or wish you had done, please can you let me know
Hi and welcome to the online community
I'm very sorry to hear that your dad has been diagnosed with cancer and it's understandable that you want to make as much of the time that you have left with him.
Could I suggest that you join either the family and friends or the supporting someone with incurable cancer group and repost your question there. I had a look in your profile to see if I could find out more about your dad's diagnosis but, as you haven't completed it yet, I'm not sure which would be the best group for you.
To join either or both of these groups just click on the links I've created and then choose 'join this group' on the pages that open. You can then introduce yourself and post your question after selecting 'start a discussion' and join in with existing conversations by clicking on 'reply'.
When you have a minute it would be really useful if could pop something about your dad's journey so far into your profile as it helps others when answering or looking for someone with a similar diagnosis. It also means that you don't have to keep repeating yourself. To do this click on your username and then select 'Edit Profile'. You can amend it at any time and if you're not sure what to write you can take a look at mine by clicking on my username.
Sending a supportive ((hug))
