Hi,
My dad has just been diagnosed with prostate cancer and lyptic bone legions. He is 88. He has a urology appointment this week. Obviously it has been a shock but he has had a quick decline in his health since xmas. My concerns basically is that I am a community carer for the elderly and spend most of my days with frail and unwell clients. I can separate my emotions at work no problem but because its my dad im feeling overwhelmed and I've sort of gone into work mode by organising things, getting their shopping and whatever else they need, discussing results with them etc. Sometimes im finding it quite hard to control.my emotions around them, especially my mum who is worried about him, I have two wonderful supportive sons that are very close to my parents, brothers but they do not live local but are stepping up in other areas, i just feel helpless at this stage and just to know other people are going through this is keeping me focused but i cant afford to burn out . Thanks.
