I’ve recently discovered that my dad (my world) has stage 4 pancreatic cancer. We found out days before his 75th  birthday which was on sunday. I’m struggling to cope. Everyone tells me to be strong, but I feel like crying the whole time. How am I going to find the strength to deal with this?

    I have the same diagnosis. My sister and I cry together but we spend time together doing the things I enjoy.  Drawing watching comedy planning meals.  Most of the time   as a sufferer I just want to be" in the moment 'as the past and future are just too painful. We have also started playing board games such as scrabble.  Hope that helps x
