My dad has just been diagnosed and advised that surgery is not an option as the cancer has spread to his cells.
As far as I know he will get chemotherapy.
I would really like to talk to people who have dealt with this type of cancer as I am not coping very well and am scared of what the future holds.
Thanks in advance
Just like to add my welcome to our lovely Max's. When someone we love is diagnosed with cancer, It is a very scary time. I speak as someone who has had prostate cancer and who has also lost several close family members including my mother to cancer so I know what it's like from both sides.
We all try to put on brave faces to our family and the world while inwardly suffering terribly. I often say the careres are the forgotten victims of cancer because most of the attention is focused on the patient while the people caring often dont get the help they need.
This is where this site is so good for we have a very varied mix of wonderful people on here who know from personal experiance what you are going through and will do all they can to offer emotional help and support.
Please take care of yourself and keep in touch. Sending best wishes to you and your family, Brian.
