New here :( Dad has cancer of the colon

Hey 

I came across this forum, I'm 34 and my dad has cancer of the colon.. This is secondary now.

I just wanted to know tips how to cope?

I feel broken, angry at the world, upset, tearful and then feel selfish feeling all that when my dad is preparing to deal with it all again. 

My heart just breaks for him x 

  • Hi there... and welcome ...

    How to cope .. I can only tell you my way of coping with my cancer ... I live every day .. try to find something in that day that makes me smile ... take every day as a gift ... hold on to all those I love, and tell them ... not look too far ahead ... don't do "what ifs" and go with all the emotions, but in balance .. admit I've felt scared ... say everything that's in my heart ... and make as many lovely memories as I can ..  

    None of us knows what tomorrow will bring ... so try and live in the day .. make as many memories as you can ... hold his hand on his journey... share tears, hugs , and leave nothing unsaid .. and remember there's quite a few of us pushing those limits every day ... 

    So take care of your heart , and don't waste a minute ... Chrissie
