Afternoon all
I’m new here, my dad diagnosed with stage one rectal cancer just before Christmas. He will have six weeks of chemo then an operation and stoma bag fitted.
we’re a close knit family and I’m terrified , everything’s going to change and as much as I’m trying not to make it about myself it’s proving difficult. I get a lot of help from my dad and that help will no longer be there. I don’t even know what to say to him , it’s unexpected and I know he’s going to be so poorly and I’m scared. Will he recover and bounce back ? There is no summer holiday this year and we’ve had to cancel so much and I feel so selfish for being upset about it
Hi, please don't feel selfish about it....My partner has got cancer of the prostate...It is really hard ,all scans done just waiting to see drs and start chemotherapy.....I have a rollercoaster of e
tions....It's the not knowing how he is thinking. We have had to cancel holidays.....I'm sure your dad will be there for you and you are going to be the best support for him.....Take of you as well ...I have my bad days but need to be strong for my partner and it's hard . I'm so glad that we have this site to talk about our feelings he helps me so much ..... sending you big hugs
