Struggling to cope with parents cancer

Hello,

i am currently a student. One of my parents got diagnosed with terminal pancreatic cancer last year, and i am struggling to cope. I am doing a difficult course so i have stress from that, me and my girlfriend 8 months have broken up recently and i obviously have the overwhelming worry about my parents illness. I feel  like i am having stress from all angles and i dont know what to do. Nothing i do can distract me or make me feel happier. Any suggestions would help

thanks

  • Hi JW123,

    I'm sorry to hear about the hard time you are having, I am myself going through brain cancer for a 2nd time around, I have found a good support network helps, keep busy and take one day at a time, it is also important to take time out for yourself, and try and enjoy the things you like doing, I hope you have someone to talk to, and all the best for the future.

     

    Kind Regards
