Hi all,
My dad has recently been diagnosed with bladder cancer, he’s had an operation to remove some of the tumours, but they were unsuccessful and it’s still very much there.
I’m struggling not just to process this but finding it hard to do anything else other than worry. I’m struggling to cope and have copious amounts of breakdowns then I get angry.
Is this normal? I’m so scared he’s my dad and I can’t comprehend it
