I’m 24,

my mum had stage 3 breast cancer but has been in remission for seven years. My dad on the other hand has been diagnosed with late stage prostate cancer at 63, which feels so young for something like that. 

lately I’ve been struggling with anxiety about my own health. I found a lump on my testicle and have been told it’s okay. Nevertheless it’s keeping me up all night. 

I also feel guilty being so focused on my own situation when my family is going through to much.

i am so scared to lose my dad, which is inevitable but still scary. I am terrified as I enter my life knowing me and my partner will be trying for a child in the coming years I am unsure how I am supposed to learn how to be a dad or a man with my dad not there.

im sorry for the long message but im asking for advice from those who know. Do you have any advice for me to manage this situation….

thanks, 

Tom.
