Living with dad whose has cancer

My life was totally normal before and now I just have this consent worry ache in my stomach when my dad gets a scan or coughs or feels tired , it just sucks because my life can just change in a day , we are lucky he’s even still alive after getting diagnosed so late on in colon cancer. There is not one day I can just be normal and to know everything going to be ok because you never know with these things. He feels so guilty but I know it’s not his fault it’s life but it breaks my heart to seem him so worried all the time for his life and for his future 

  • I am really sorry to hear about your dad. Have you thought of talking to someone about how you are coping? Are you able to enjoy the time you spend with your dad? I find it hard too but am trying to make good memories while I have him x

  • When he got diagnosed , he kinda been shutting himself off , I would like to spend time with him but right now it’s very hard for him to spend time with me when he doesn’t know how it will last. My dad is the most admirable person I have ever met even though he got diagnosed 2 years ago this October he still continues in his work with his job which is a surgeon where he has to see people everyday with same thing he has and some not surviving , he even thought of giving up his job that he loved for so many years because he just couldn’t handle seeing what his fate could be. I know I’m not the  only  one going through this and I’m sorry that it has happened to you xx but sometimes I wish my only problem is trying to get through high school like everyone else in my year.
