Hi,

I can't begin to imagine what you're going through, and I understand how much it must be affecting your life and studies. I'm new to all of this myself, however there are tonnes of services and people you can contact for support, have a browse on the website. Have you tried talking to your parents about how you feel? I know my parents are quite oblivious as to how a young person's brain works!

Hi

I know exactly how you feel. My dad was diagnosed with kidney cancer and also cancerous brain tumors at the end of last year. He had an operation to remove the brain tumors which left him unable to move. He is now gaining more movement by working hard at it with physiotherapists. Then once he was fit enough he was to have his kidney removed. So he had this operation but the kidney was unable to be removed due to it being too close to other organs within the body and it would cause too much trauma. So this was difficult to take in and shattered us all then more bads news that the cancer in the brain has returned. They cant do anymore operations on  his brain or kidney so now need to start radiotherapy and immunotherapy but all of this bads news is taking its toll on my dad physically and mentally and its so difficult to see him like this.

I am attending counselling sessions next week to help me find ways of dealing with all of this as up to now I am overthinking everything and its really not good for me and my family
