My dad got diagnosed not long ago with lymphoma and my mum has her own health issues which limits what she can physically do. My dad works full time and my mum looks after the house. They both struggle with stuff that would be considered as easy and they get tired more easily. I'm grateful that my dad was diagnosed early and for the moment it's not progressive. I'm away from home due to work for weeks, even months at a time when I'm overseas. I try my best to help while I'm home but I feel like I should be doing more, I want to do more. It's just difficult when I have obligations to my job. I also struggle finding someone to talk to about it. I deffinatly feel a mental and emotional strain personally. They're both coping and doing the best they can but it dosnt stop that strain I feel.
