About 8 months ago my dad was diagnosed with prostate cancer. Now, I had been living at home for the first part of the journey while working to save for my degree, but this last month i moved away to study my dream degree. I feel so guilty for being away from my father and feel i need to quit my dream to be at home with him. It difficult because he hasn't yet been able to access treatment and I'm worried that the cancer has spread. His first surgery is next week and I want to be with him but I can't because of my degree.
Hi Catherine20_
Sorry to read about your dad and the impact this is having on you. I know most universities have some kind of student welfare service and I cannot recommend highly enough that you make use of them.
If may help you to look at your feelings when someone has cancer and it might help too to look at our pages on prostrate cancer to learn a bit more about the disease.
<<hugs>>
