hi. My Dad was diagnosed with Hodgkin's lymphoma 6 weeks ago, two weeks before my wedding. He doesn't like talking about it, so I only know the bear minimum. This week his hair started to fall out and it's hit me quite hard. I know how utterly ridiculous it is to be upset over something as daft as hair, but I've never known him without a full head of dark black hair and a beard and moustache. I avoid visiting because it reminds me that he's ill and then hate myself for being so selfish. I basically just wanted to say the stuff out loud that I daren't say to my family. Thanks for giving me somewhere to let everything out.
