Please give advice Xx

Hey 

um I’m currently a teen whose grandfather has been diagnosed with prostate cancer - it spread to his bones 

He’s had a fall today and is currently in hospital as a result of an impact on his hip - 

I’m really scared and I don’t know what to do - he’s always been a part of my life and I don’t want to lose him - what is Chemotherapy and how does it work ?

Thank you for your support

  • Hello Crabcake101

    I just saw your post and wanted to say hi so you dont feel alone at this worrying time.

    • I am sorry to hear your grandfather has cancer and this is a good place to get information and support the questions for nurses chat line is very helpful and although you may feel some of it is aimed at younger children / teens than yourself the section for talking to children about cancer is very helpful and i found it useful as a much older adult. You will find it explains chemotherapy and other treatments for cancer on there. 

    The  Macmillan website also has a chat and support line which is open 8-8 every day of the week. No question is too small.

    If you can talk to family and a trusted teacher so they know how you feel. Hopefully you can support each other and you can give grandad your love and support too. One step a time you will get through this together 

    Sending strength

    Kind wishes RB
