Hi all, my dad has been diagnosed with early prostate cancer, he had a bone scan and CT scan on Friday and we are awaiting the results of that.
We are currently not agreeing on when to tell my 11yr old daughter, she is very close to my dad and based on my personal experiences i feel it would be better to tell her outright but my mum thinks we shouldn't tell her. I honestly don't know what to do as i have never been in this position.
Whatever cancer throws your way, we’re right there with you.
We’re here to provide physical, financial and emotional support.
