I'm a 50 year old man and I've just found out my dad has cancer and it's terminal. This man is not just my father he's one of if not the only real friend I have.
I'm really struggling to know how to deal with this and any advice would be massively appreciated.
Hi Lper71 and a very warm welcome to the online community which I hope you'll find is both an informative and supportive place to be.
I'm sorry to read that you have just found out that your dad has terminal cancer. It must be a very hard time for you both.
As you know, the online community is divided up into different support groups so I'm going to suggest that you join the supporting someone with incurable cancer group. That way you'll connect directly with others who are in a similar position to you and can tell you how they've dealt with it.
To join, just click on the link I've created. Once you've joined you can then start a new post like you did here and join in with existing conversations by clicking on 'reply'.
It would be great if you could pop something about your dad's diagnosis and treatment so far into your profile as it really helps others when replying to you and also when looking for someone on a similar pathway. It also means that you don't have to keep repeating yourself. To do this click on your username and then select '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.
