Struggling to accept Grandads cancer diagnosis

Hi there,

I am new to this!

It is just to ask if anyone has any advice on accepting that my Grandad has been diagnosed with an advanced type of cancer. This news has honestly shattered my heart already so I'm struggling to cope with accepting it. How can I overcome this pain and be strong for my family and my Grandad? I want to be positive, I don't want to have a pessimistic mindset. 
 

Please help me gain some strength. Any advice would be greatly appreciated. 

 

Thank you so much and sorry for sharing my sad news when I am not the only one to experience it. 

  • As I was reading through the forum I came across your post and noticed you didn't receive a reply so I wanted to stop by to say hello and welcome you to the forum, Yellowmoon.

    I'm sorry to hear that your grandad has been diagnosed with an advance type of cancer, I'm sure this was quite a shock to all of you.

    Accepting a cancer diagnosis can be challenging as many here will tell you, so I'm glad you came to us, as chatting with those who are able to relate does seem to help. In the meantime, as you asked for advice, I thought I'd leave you with this page from our website with tips on how to cope emotionally with your grandad's diagnosis, to read more please click here.

    With best wishes to you and your grandad,
