Absolutely devastated. We were told 18 months in the summer. Dad has got poorly quite quickly and his cancer had now spread to his bones (spine and hips) and we have now been told just a couple of months. I'm heartbroken. I'm only young and so is my dad and I just feel so terrified to lose him. Feeling so lost. X
Hi KLB31 welcome to the forum and I am so very sorry to hear what is happening for you and your family. Cancer is a cruel disease, strikes when we least expect it and often but not always takes our most precious people away from us. I don't know what to say to make any of this any better. I lost my dad to a similar type of cancer where I didn't get much time with him and I miss him. It's 5 years since my dad died and I think of him everyday but I was older than you. That said I felt like a very small girl when he died. What I do know 5years down the line is that he instilled in me values and principles as I'm sure your dad has as well, this enables me to go on knowing he is forever a part of me. I'm sure your Dad is so proud of you and it's OK to feel sad and lost, that's normal and you will go on and make your dad proud of who you become. Xx sending hugs x
