Hi

Welcome to the forum but sad to see the reason that brings you here.  I am sure others will be along to offer support at what is a very difficult time for you, your Dad and the whole family. I suspect that other family members feel much the same as you do (in our family it was my husband though with a different cancer) and being an only child (I am one) can feel a little isolating when this happens (my Dad had prostate as a primary and lung cancer as a secondary some 8 years ago). I have found this forum a very supportive environment and sometimes it just helps to write down your feelings/have a rant or just ask questions.  Waiting for results of scans adds to the emotional stress (many here will relate to this) and the only way I coped was day to day.  None of us can be strong all the time and hope you have someone you can offload to - being emotional helps to release the build up of worries/fears, My workmates would give me a hug (my face could give me away sometimes).  Hope their is some promising news when the results come through but the forum is here 24/7 if you need to share your story.  Jules 54

Thanks Jules , i was just looking for some support last night as i was very emotional it was a bad day yesterday as my dad was very low & upset & i found it hard to deal with it , thanks for the warm welcome to the forum i have found a place now i can express my feelings & worries & get support from people in the same boat as me x

Hi andy

The cancer journey seems to have many ups and downs and its never easy seeing a parent so low and feeling unable to make it better.  Hope that the forum can help you on those difficult times as much as it has helped me.  Jules
