My dad was diagnosed with Multiple Myeloma and prostate cancer in May at the same time. Prior to this life was fab. We are a very close family and I love my dad to pieces. I took over his main care as my mum was also dealing with her mum who had a bad fall and broke her hip and is now on end of life care. I attend all dads appointments and offer emotional and practical support. I’ve carried on working as a TA in school and yesterday I had a bit of a breakdown and was sent home. I now have a sick note for 4 weeks. I just feel so sad. I keep crying. I feel unstable. My husband is amazing and I have friends too who are very good to me but I just feel unable to cope. I’ve spoken to the doctor and she has given me the time off and asked me to call if I need more help. I just feel like running away. I want it all to go away.
