Hello, I’m new here, my son who has a young family has recently had an ultrasound the results are pending. My mind is now working overtime, and I keep looking at the web and it’s worrying me a lot. My wife’s mum died of pancreatic cancer and my brother died of lung cancer, also my wife has just had some cancer removed from her face. As you can imagine we are very worried. Has anyone out there been through something similar. Thanks for reading this
Hi Road Runner 49 and a very warm welcome to the online community which I hope you'll find is both an informative and supportive place to be.
I'm sorry to read that your son has recently been diagnosed with testicular cancer. It's not unusual for someone to have many members of their family who've had cancer and you might find it helpful to join and post in the family and friends group.
If this is something that you'd like to do, clicking on the link I've created will take you directly there. Once you've joined, you can then start a new 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 son's diagnosis 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.
