Firstly my dad had lived with stage 4 cancer with many years but sadly treatment is not working , he is young and im so cross with the world , why him? Why does cancer affect so many families . It jus isnt fair. He has now stopped treatment and been reffered to palliative care , is there any ideas i could do to show him how much we care and love him . I feel so helpless . No matter what age we l still need our dads i wish this was all a bad dream .

My dad is incredible funny , kind and selfless he deserves the best.

From a very worried heartbroken daughter

  • Welcome to Cancer Chat, Lottienoo.

    I'm sorry to read about your dad's situation. It's completely understandable to feel angry, frustrated, and heartbroken when faced with such difficult circumstances. Cancer can indeed affect many families, and it's a challenging reality to grapple with.

    Do try to cherish every moment with your dad and show him how much you care and love him. Simple gestures like spending quality time together, reminiscing about happy memories, and expressing your feelings openly can mean a lot. You could also consider creating a memory book or scrapbook filled with photos, notes, and mementos that celebrate his life and the special moments you've shared.

    Remember that you're not alone, there are many here who will understand exactly how you're feeling and I hope you'll find comfort and encouragmente among us.

    Your dad sounds like an incredible person, and he's fortunate to have such a caring daughter by his side.

    With best wishes to you both,
