Hi there,

I'm so sorry to hear about your dad. Cancer is so so so unfair. 

I'm 20 and my sister is 16, and in March of this year my dad got diagnosed with cancer. He passed away 9 weeks later. I still cry nearly every day because I miss him so so much, but I do believe he is still with us. 

I so desperately wanted my dad to see me graduate from uni too - it's a day that should be celebrated with family. However, although not physically, he will be there - your dad will be so proud.

Feel free to message me privately if you'd like to speak some more - you're not alone. 

I hope you're doing okay,

Hi huni, firstly I am so sad to hear you and your sister are facing very hard times with your very brave dad. 

I am not sure I can help you cope any better but know this, you are not alone. 

My mum was admitted to hospital in January this year with a suspected stroke.  On further investigation it was a tumour in her brain. To see if it was cancerous or not they had to perform a biopsy and they would take as much of the tumour as possible at the sane time. 

The op went very well on the 1st February. But a week later we were given the devastating news that mum had a grade 4 glioblastoma. Which is a very aggressive form of cancer in the form of a brain tumour. Mum didn't want to know anything. No prognosis or anything.  

I asked the nurse away from mum what that meant in terms of time. The nurse said without treatment it would be about 3 months. The treatment won't be a cure but would prolong life and ease symptoms

Luckily mum decided on treatment. She was given radiotherapy and chemotherapy tablets along side for 6 weeks. That finished in april. What worries me now is its been more than 3 months after treatment finished and she's still having MRIs etc but we don't get told anything. 

We are just trying to have nice days out, when she's not tired, and give her lovely memories and good times with me my sisters and her grandchildren. 

It's so hard watching someone you love being poorly or going through something you can't stop.  

Here for you to talk to if you need it. 

Huge hugs x
