Hello I'm Jen - My dad has cancer and I'm in a new world

Hello, 

I'm Jen.  Yesterday threw my family into a whole new world that you never think you'll be in.  My dad was told he has aggressive rare bladder cancer.  We were just there to get a plan of action really and didn't expect the worst news possible.  I live with my mum and dad and we are super close.  I also have a brother and sister and they are both married/engaged.  

I'm a teacher and I go back to work next week and I don't know how I am supposed to function let alone act like a happy teacher. 

I'd love to meet some people who are in the same boat and can tell me some strategies and tell me its OK to carry on as normal a bit - because that's the last thing I want to do right now.  I just want my dad to be OK and just don't care about anything else. 

Thanks 

Jen

  • Sorry to read this Jen, have you looked on face book at Fight Bladder Cancer, it’s a private group you join but people are so supportive, I’m sure you’ll find a lot of help there. I have grade 3 bladder cancer, had BCG treatment and been clear for 11 years. There is hope. Good luck to your dad and I’ll look for you on fight bladder cancer xx
