my heart is broken

hello, my name is debbie, im 35. we found out 4 weeks ago today that my lovley dad has the horrible C word. scans and xrays later we now know he has non small cell adenocarcinoma that has spread to his liver, lymph nodes and suspicious adrenal gland. dad is 71. it has totally broke my heart and i am willing to sell my soul to the devil to get him better. he will have a hickman line put in soon and start chemo, and i hope and pray it will just melt this horrible Cancer away. i lost my mom to leukemia in 1997, and i just cannot let this cancer take my dad away too. my dad is a very typical bloke and keeps things to hiself, we have got macmillan helping us, but its mainly just me and dad as neither of us have any siblings. please pray for my dad, he is my whole world and my life wont be worth living without him......

  • Hi Debbie,

    I just wanted to welcome you to the forum and bump your post as I know many here are in a similar situation and will want to talk to you. It can help to talk to others who can understand how you feel, who also have a parent who has just been diagnosed with cancer. 

    Your dad is lucky to have such a caring daughter by his side, who clearly loves him so much. Please do come to this forum anytime you feel you need to talk to others on the same boat.

    I will now let those who can relate to what you are saying come and say hello.

    Best wishes,
