Hi.
Just saying hello. My 74 year old incredible dad was diagnosed with sarcomatoid mesothelioma last week. Mortified.
Looking for tips and guidance on how to support him and mum, and the whole family.
Currently, he is well and you would not know to look at him that there's anything so sinister going on inside.
Hi Heartbroken and a warm welcome to the online community which I hope you'll find is an informative and supportive place.
I'm sorry to read about your dad's recent diagnosis and I know how hard it can be for the whole family when someone is diagnosed with cancer.
I thought I'd suggest that you also join and post in the family and friends group which will give you the chance to connect with others who have a member of their family or a friend living with cancer and where you can share your feelings and get support. If this is something that you'd like to do clicking on the link I've created will take you straight there where you can join and post in the same way as you did here and join in with existing conversations by clicking on reply.
It would be great if you could pop something about your dad's diagnosis and treatment 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.
