How do i come to terms with my Dads diagnosis?

After a month of two of hospital visits i found out yesterday that my dad has terminal prostate cancer (spread to bones), it is a big shock because i am 16 and i honestly just dont know how to cope with this news. my Grandma passed away from cancer last year, it was extreamly fast and i barely had any time to prcess it. I want to be supportive to my mum and be strong for her and my family and my dad as i cant imagine being in that position, but its so difficult and im not sure how i can come to terms with it.

 anyone has any advice on coming to terms with these types of things it would be so helpful thank you ️

  • Am going through same my dad been told has months to live 

    spread to his brain we did a bucket list and did loads of fun things together just little things helping us cope x

  • Hi lar, sorry about your father, are they sorting treatment options out for him,. Not trying to scare you. But it can depend on which bones and how fit and well you're father is.. Mine went to lymph nodes, spine, ribs, pelvis and a lung, i was diagnosed Feb 2016 its uncurable but you can live with it i call it my uninvited guest.. If I can help in any way please let me know...... Billy 

  • Hi, i randomly found this post i made whilst in a crisis in the middle of the night when i was 16,

     i honestly forgot i had made this post until this week when it randomly popped into my head as my family were discussing this situation, i was just looking at the replies and it means so much to me that people replied and cared enough to give advice i wish i had seen this in 2019! there was so much going on at the time as the whole diagnosis happened at christmas that i didnt have time to check my phone much

     Just to update , the doctors had mistakenly told us that the cancer had spread to the bones when this wasnt the case (found this out feb 2020) , his cancer had spread to his lymphnodes but not the bones- he had treatments in 2020 and 2021 and he is doing alot better, Early 2020 was very hard for me because of this diagnosis but i spent alot of time with family to help support my dad. im happy i was able to see that there was people here to support me :)

    weve been told the cancer will probably make a return at some point ,but its best to not think about it too much , i hope everything is going well with you and thank you so much for the responce i wish i had seen this earleir but wanted to give you an update
