My Dad who is also my best friend was diagnosed 3 weeks ago with 3 months to live. Aggressive bowel cancer that has spread i think pretty much everywhere. He is now home for symptom management and palliative care.

I have realised today how scared I am. I have started to struggle within myself and wondered if anyone could point me in the right direction of the right group here as i am an only child and no other family, and im finding this very hard on my own.  I need to be strong to be able to give him the best care I possibly can for the time he has left. 

Im becoming an emotional wreck I want to make him proud of me. Maybe it will be unavoidable being an emotional wreck but perhaps in this community I wont feel so alone and scared.
