My Dad was diagnosed with bladder cancer about 3 weeks ago. He is having an operaton on Monday to remove the tumour. Then, two weeks later, we will find out whether they got all of it, or whether there is more. I have never been this afraid in my life. I don't know whether to go to the hospital with him on Monday. My mum is taking him - I broke my ankle last Saturday, but could get the train and a bus to the hospital. I feel as though I should be there just in case anything happens. I know the operation is supposed to be straightforward, but he has never been in hospital before, might have a reaction to the anaethsetic or something. I just feel as though I need to be there in case anything bad happens. I couldn't forgive myself if something happened and I wasn't there. But at the same time, my parents don't seem to want me to be there. My Mum says I shouldn't go because it will make my Dad more stressed. My Dad says not to come because there will be nothing to see/do, and I should come later when his operation is done. I don't know what to do. I am 27, my dad is 65.
