My dad was diagnosed with liver cancer. We were told that it was advanced and that it is terminal. He only has a few months due to the spread to lungs, bowels and stomach. I am 22 and my sister 18. I don’t know how to cope with this situation as my nanna passed away in August from endometriosis. This was her 2nd time going through chemotherapy, radiotherapy and immunotherapy. She was told in July there was nothing else that could be done. I feel so lost with what is happening to my dad as it was unexpected and I am not ready to lose him (as selfish as that sounds). I don’t know what to do or how to feel. He started feeling ill 3 months ago and the doctors didn’t listen to what he had to say and kept brushing it off. I’m so angry but so sad and lost at the same time.
Hi Lavenderhaze5289698d 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 Anne, one of the Community Champions here on the Online Community, and although I was the one with cancer, I know how scared you're probably feeling right now.
As you know, the online community is divided into different support groups so I'm going to recommend that you also join and post in the supporting someone with incurable cancer group as you'll then connect directly with others to discuss your emotions about the prospect of losing your dad.
To join, just click on the link I've created and, once you've joined, you can start a new post in the same way as you did here and join in with existing conversations by clicking on 'reply'.
