Hi. My dad has been diagnosed with pancreas cancer, he has started hormone treatment to slow things down. When he has bad days, I find it very hard to cope. I hide my feelings from him, bottling things up. I have talked to friends when things get too much but im afraid of becoming a burden to them. Just lately, I have felt very alone.
Hi Busy lizzie and a very warm welcome to the online community which I hope you'll find is both an informative and supportive place to be.
I'm sorry to read that your dad has been diagnosed with pancreatic cancer and it's natural to be feeling as you do.
As the online community is divided up into different support groups I'm going to recommend that you join the family and friends group, which is a safe and supportive place to discuss your worries and emotions with others who have a loved one living with cancer.
If you want to discuss your dad's diagnosis and treatment with others who have the same type of cancer then you could also join the pancreatic cancer group.
To join, either or both of these groups, just click on the links I've created and, once you've joined, you can start a new post in the same way as you did here and join in with existing conversations by clicking on 'reply'.
When you have a minute, it would be great if you could put something about your dad's diagnosis and treatment to date into your profile as it really helps others when replying to you and also when looking for someone on a similar pathway. It also means that you don't have to keep repeating yourself. To do this click on your username and then select '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.

So sorry
