I'm sorry to hear how you're feeling since your dad's diagnosis, but I hope joining the forum will help in some way. Getting a cancer diagnosis can have a big impact on someone and their loved ones, so it's natural that emotions will be affected. We have guidance around coping with cancer on our website, including information for family, friends and carers, which I hope will be useful.
Communication is important, so do keep checking in on him and perhaps suggest some time together or activity that might lift his mood. If you ever need to speak to someone about your dad's diagnosis you can call our team of cancer nurses the free helpline 0808 800 4040. Lines are open from 9 to 5 Monday to Friday.
