My Dad

Dad has been diagnosed with Lung Cancer since early February i think they said it was on the first stage of it ... Dad's 84 so we knew it wasn't going to be easy but I didn't think it was going to be this hard. Watching you Dad your Father loose he's pride & independence is the hardest thing I ever had to see & still deal with ... how do you all cope? How can I help him? 

  • Welcome to Cancer Chat Janbaby66.

    I'm sorry to hear about your dad's diagnosis but it's great you're trying to do all you can to support him at this time. Many members will understand what you are going through at the moment having been in similar situations with their parents and loved ones and hopefully some of them will be along soon to offer their support and advice. I have included some information about coping emotionally from our website which may help at this time as well. It is written from the point of view of the person with the diagnosis but can really help family and friends too.

    Many here have found sharing their thoughts and feelings on the forum to be really helpful so do continue to post and feel free to join in on other discussions. Our members are always very supportive and will do all they can to help so don't be afraid of saying hello.

    All the best,
