Dad newly diagnosed with hodgkins lymphoma

Hello I dont normally do this but I don't know who I can speak to and get my feelings/ thoughts off my chest. 

I am trying to stay "strong" for my family sake as my dad is the one going through this. 

I just can't help but worry. I am a natural worrier always have been!.

I should be thankful its been caught early and its treatable ect but I'm finding it hard to see my dad go through this. He is very upbeat as he's that kinda of person to. I am 400 miles away from him and I hate it I can't be there physically with him to help him ect. 

Please tell me this gets easier I am trying to be strong im just worried i want to take it away from him. I feel bad for venting but like I said I dunno who else to turn to. 

  • Hello Melimoo92,

    I'm sorry about your dad's diagnosis. I can understand this has had an effect on you and the family, but it's good to hear he's in good spirits. Athough you're far away, your dad is always one call away and that will help you stay connected. There is some information here, which I hope will help you cope with how you're feeling and support your family the best that you can.

    Take care of yourself,
