How do you cope

Just found out my dad has cancer in both of his lungs. It's awful to watch him coughing and short of breath.  Treatment to start next week. But I am so scared as it's stage 4. My two siblings think I'm the strong one.

i live 200 miles away which makes it hard but have a very supportive extended family.  Keep crying at moment. Need to find strength from somewhere.

    Hi Kully, you sound like me, everyone thought I was the strong one, but I used to go to bed everynight and cry myself to sleep, the thought of losing my dad, scared the life out of me.

    I threw myself into getting him help, which helped me lots.  But that may be hard as you live so far away.  You'll find your way to help even if its a phone call to him x

    My dad's breathing wasn't very good either, your dad may need inhalers, oxgyen or a respirator.
