Hi Brieannah13,

Welcome to Cancer Chat. I'm sorry to hear of the situation with your Dad - this must be really difficult, particularly if you're struggling to have these same conversations.

It's of course important to look after yourself as much as possible while also looking out for your Dad. Try to take breaks where you can - chances to try to switch off and focus on something else for a while.

It also helps to talk to others, so hopefully you have other family and friends around you who you can speak with. We are of course also here on the forum whenever you need it - it can be helpful to write things down and reach out to others who may be going through something similar or who may have advice to offer.

If it gets too much, perhaps you could try talking things through with your Dad about how it's making you feel, if it's appropriate and if you're comfortable doing this. I know this may be difficult.

Hopefully you'll get more replies to your post here soon.

Wishing you all the best,

Ben
