In 2017 we lost my sister to hodgkin's lymphoma, a year later our 14 year old son was diagnosed with a testicular tumour, he had surgery and is doing well physically whilst being monitored carefully.. the emotional effect on him and us all has been huge! This year, there was a few weeks where i thought i was going mad. I was waiting for results of our boys 3 monthly scan, waiting for the results of my yearly mammogram (under the family history clinic) and then suddenly, waiting for results of my 80 year old dads colonoscopy.. 2 of the 3 were good.. our boys results were good, my scan was clear, but my dads wasn't and right in the middle of COVID 19! He has a tumour in the rectal area, he starts radiotherapy in 10 days time, then he will need surgery and a permanent stoma bag.. I feel totally overwhelmed and the worst part is, I can barely see him because of the lockdown and the fact that he is terrified of catching CV... i want to reassure him and help but i need reassurance too.
