my dad has lung cancer

My dad might not see my next birthday or is very unlikely to see me go off to university and in school my marks are dropping , he now coughs all the time I can't seem to escape from it , you know what happen if he dies during my exam times , i don't know what to do or think.

  • Hello belllla123, 

    This is terribly sad I am so sorry to hear that your dad has terminal lung cancer. I know it's really hard but try not to think about when your dad might pass away and try and focus on the time you can spend with him. If you can, try and prepare for your exams as you would normally do without expecting that the worst might happen and perhaps go and talk to a sympathetic teacher about your situation so that they can take your current circumstances into account. It's important that you take some time to breathe and look after yourself too and have a bit of normality in your life taking part in the activities you enjoy. 

    We're all here for you anytime you need to talk. Many on our forum have sadly been through this before and I am sure they will have some kind words and suggestions for you to help you cope in the coming days. 

    Best wishes,
