Hi everyone
I‘m not really sure what I’m hoping for from this post, but my dad has just been diagnosed with CUP. It has metastasised in a few areas and he has been given a prognosis of 12 months. He was told it could be less, but it also could be more as he is in good health. He’s also only 67.
I feel quite confused myself and over the years we haven’t had an easy relationship. I am going to visit him tomorrow, and I want it to go well, but I am worried that I will find it hard to manage my emotions and this might impact upon him, or my brother, who has a much closer relationship with him.
I wonder if anyone can suggest things that you have found helpful to hear? Or things that have been unhelpful? Thank you for reading. I just want to do my best for everyone in the situation.
Hi Brighton Girl welcome to the forum though I am sorry to hear what is happening for you and your family. I'm struggling to see who is going to look after you in all this. You seem to be considering everyone before yourself. It's one of those things that none of us can influence so just be you and yourself, if you get emotional then so be it it's OK.. it's very difficult for everyone including
your dad so just take things as they come and see how it goes. My very best wishes ️ Gail x
