My dad was diagnosed with thyroid cancer which has spread to tumours on his spine at the end of last year. I have noticed recently he has became very angry within himself as he is not able to do simple things without feeling exhausted. Can anyone give me advice on how to help him??
Hi and welcome to the online community at what sounds like a very difficult time for you and your family.
Could I suggest that you join the family and friends group where you can share your feelings and get support.
To join this group just click on the link I've created and then choose 'join this group' on the page that opens. You can then introduce yourself, or ask a question, by selecting 'start a discussion'. If you want to respond to an existing post click on 'reply'.
When you have a minute it would be really useful if could pop something about your dad's journey so far into your profile as it really helps others when answering or looking for someone with a similar diagnosis. It also means that you don't have to keep repeating yourself. To do this click on your username and then select 'Edit Profile'. You can amend it at any time and if you're not sure what to write you can take a look at mine by clicking on my username.
