Hi Ben

Welcome to Cancer Chat.

Sorry about your dad. Just to let you know there are many friendly people here who are in a similar position to you, so please come and share your thoughts and feelings anytime you feel you would like to chat.

There's a website called rip rap for people of your age who have a parent affected by cancer.

You can find it here. It could be another good place for you to find support and advice from others with similar experiences to you.

Best wishes

Jane

Hi Ben

Im sorry to hear your dad has got this disease. And I know it is as hard for you as it is for him going through this. You will be a great help in your dad getting through this because of your upbeat attitude. It will lift his spirits on those black days. Don't forget to look after yourself though, go out and do fun things with your friends without feeling guilty, keep up your usual activities and sports. Don't be afraid to ask for help if you feel you need to discuss anything, talking is good. The people on this forum may help you out, you can also talk to the McMillan nurses at your dads hospital or phone them. You can also phone the nurses here on 0808 800 4040 in confidence. I see Jane has given you a link to riprap. All the best Ben  Kim
