Hi, my name is Alison and my dad has a brain tumour which is classed as cancer and it is terminal. He was diagnosed 5 years ago, well it will be 5 years ago in August, getting told this devastating news is not something a young girl would like to be told. The main reason I am writing this is because I want to know does it get easier and how do I cope? Because these past 5 years I seriously do not know how I have coped, maybe it's because I always think positive and try and stay strong but some days are harder than others and sometimes I feel so alone and that I can't talk to anyone, I mean I can talk to my mum about it sometimes and my little brother I guess but I could never speak to my dad about it because I don't want him knowing I am upset and that I constantly worry about him. I mean he's getting there and he's been okay for a while but I am just so scared in case something does happen, I don't want to think anything like that will happen but I will never know and that's why I continue to worry, I leave school within a couple of weeks and as you could imagine I am under a lot of pressure as it is with exams and what not, I just wanted to know if anyone out there knows the situation I am in and that could help because at the moment I am struggling.
