Dad

My dad passed away 8 weeks ago, I am finding it very hard to get my head around it. I am not coping at all I’m going crazy. My dad got diagnosed last January with bowel cancer he had chemotherapy and he flew threw it and got the all clear. In July of this year he got diagnosed again with colon cancer , he was having radio therapy and he only had 8 sessions. The radio therapy had burnt his stomach and caused a massive infection. He went into hospital but it was to late they could not do anything for him. I am very annoyed at the moment as we feel as a family that the doctors should’ve picked upon this infection. We would always ask when he went for treatment if they could look over him and they kept on saying they would but they never did. I am 18, and my dad was 39 that is no life to have I am so angry

  • I'm truly sorry for your loss, I lost my Dad last week so I know just how heartbreakingly difficult it can be to deal with the aftermath in a bid to cope, to survive. I can't comment on the medical stuff, but I do know that your anger is normal. I've felt it too. I hope the anger soon subsides and is replaced with loving memories of your Dad x
