I don't know what I'm doing here and why

But it felt right to write it somewhere

My dad got diagnosed last year, had treatment, was cancer free but now its back and its terminal 

He's been given 3 months...

He's only 60 

I just don't know what I'm doing. I feel numb all day 

I have 2 young children who take my mind off things for a little while and keep me busy. Theyre obsessed with him but can't think about how ill deal with that yet 

I'm so worried about my mom. They're all each other know. Been married 40 years and are so in love

It just seems so cruel and unfair 

  • Sorry that you are feeling lost, my husband has just been given a similar diagnosis.... he has AML and treatment not working. Everyone offers help and support but you still feel alone. My head jumps from one thought to another, sometimes I feel positive and hope they're wrong and other times terrified at the thought of losing him. It's an awful situation and like been in limbo.... just trying to enjoy our time and taking each day as a blessing. Stay strong x

  • completely understand. I’m exhausted but sleep evades me. I keep thinking of my mum and how cruel it is that at 69 she is dealing with a rare blood cancer.

    At least we can talk on here. I think talking will help. It’s helpful to hear other people feel the same. Numb. Confused. Angry. devastated. Alone.
