How do I cope with everything with dad cancer

My dad has a tumor in his abdomen.  It is very large and it is untreatable now as the chemo failed. My question is how do I cope with the process which dad is going through he is going to die from this tumor and I can't even think about it with out crying any help much appreciated 

  • Hello Jloubs, 

    It's so sad what is happening to your dad, that the tumour in his abdomen is large and untreatable and that the chemo has failed. What devastating news - you must still be in shock and it's hard not to cry and there is no right or wrong way to cope in a situation like this. I hope that you have a nice support network around you to help you get through each day. 

    You are not alone though and I wanted you to know I mentioned your story only this morning to another member of our community  who is very much going through the same - have a read of her thread 'Mum has stage 4 terminal stomach cancer' and don't hesitate to reply if you want to talk to someone else who is no doubt also very tearful at the moment and feeling like it's really difficult to cope or think ahead for the future.

    We're thinking of you during this tough time and wanted you to know we are right here always if you need to talk at any time. 

    Best wishes,
