Hey everyone!! 
I am 20 years of age and My Dad has just recently been diagnosed with grade 4 glioblastoma, with an average prognosis of 14 months. It's been a devastating few weeks, from finding the brain tumours, to speaking to the specialists finding out all the tumours are inoperable and now the most devastating diagnosis and prognosis. Every week this last 4 weeks has brought worse news than the week before. This aswell as seeing my dads symptoms get worse so quickly has been totally heart breaking, I've never felt pain like this! One minute he was totally okay and the next he isn't, that's what I'm finding hard to come to terms with the most! 
 

I have lost a lot of my family members to cancer over the last few years and so I am no stranger to seeing and helping someone through a cancer journey! But for some reason it feels different this time because it's my Dad! I can't describe the feeling, but it is completely sickening and I just cannot shake the feeling away.. I don't whether anyone else has felt this way? This just feels like a different heart ache.  
 

After losing my grandparents and uncle to cancer all within a couple of years of each other, it really did take me a while to rebuild myself, my confidence and my strength. I am worried that I just won't be able to do this, this time around! 
 

I guess with this message what I'm trying to ask is, how do you cope as a daughter or a son of a parent with cancer? Any advice would be so appreciated no matter how small or big! 
 

Best wishes everyone and thankyou in advance for taking the time to read this post!
