Colon cancer

My dad is dying of colon cancer I can't cope seriously get me out of this nightmare I'm only 20 and feel like so selfish.

  • Hi Sophiexx,

    I'm so sorry to hear about your dad, it's so awful to be given such difficult news.  I have recently lost my dad to stomach cancer and I'm only 21, so I know how terrible it is and how awful you feel.

    There's no need at all to feel selfish, I'm sure all you can think about is how terrible the thought of being without him is - which isn't selfish at all, it's just natural.  It is such a difficult time, but I'm here if you ever need to talk x

  • I can relate with how you're feeling. My dad was just diagnosed with advanced prostate cancer, and I'm only 25. I never thought I would have to deal with something like this, especially with being so young. I've been very angry for the past couple weeks. We just found out last Wednesday that there's nothign the doctors can do, and a few weeks ago that he has prostate cancer. So this is all very new for my family and I. I've been trying to live in the moment as much as possible, which I know is very hard. We just have to try to make as many good memories as we can with our father's right now. If you need someone to talk to, i'M always here to chat.
