Hi Stoonie,

Welcome to Cancer Chat. I'm very sorry to hear of the situation with your dad - this must be a lot to process and no doubt a huge shock.

It's good to hear you have support from your GF. Keep leaning on all the support you can get - whether that's those close to you or perhaps others elsewhere such as via support groups or this forum.

Take things slowly - one day, or less, at a time - and be kind to yourself. It may help to write some things down, either personally and/or on a forum such as this.

We're always here whenever you may need it, and it's a safe space to reach out to others who understand.

Speak with your dad's doctor for any questions or information that's needed to help with what to potentially expect.

And if you feel you'd like to talk things through with someone at all, we have nurses available, who are always more than happy to listen. You can reach them on freephone 0808 800 4040 - Monday-Friday, 9-5.

Do keep in touch with how you're getting on. Wishing you all the best,

Ben
