I know many people here are dealing with very advanced situations, and having spent the morning reading through posts, I have huge respect for what you’re going through. I hesitated to post because my situation feels earlier in the journey, but I am here and posting because I realise I still need support and that it’s okay to ask for it.
One of my parents has recently been diagnosed with bowel cancer, I’m really struggling with the shock and how to process it while still trying to function day to day as a very busy guy. These past few days have been emotionally exhausting, I’m finding it hard to hold everything together.
I’m looking for guidance from others who remember those early days after diagnosis, how you coped, and anything that helped you manage your emotions and the uncertainty of the news.
I’m also here to offer support where I can.
Thank you.
