My dad has cancer

Hi everyone I don't know how to start this but I'm really scared my dad told me news year day he had prostate cancer it hit me hard but kept positive for him he had his operation 5 week ago . Last Thursday he rang me and told me he had been hospital in the morning I was under the impression that he was getting his results until he said that he had cancer and they are checking to see if it has spread to his bones, double whammy it's really affecting me as I know that 6 months has passed and they have only just found it so it is obvious it has spread I am terrified that my dad will die and I have nobody to ring what do I do he's my absolute hero I am so greatfull for having him in my life for 41 years but I can't lose him my brothers and sister and mum I don't get along with they are so difficult and different from me and dad I'm so glad I got his genes it's really hard for me but I'm keeping positive for dads sake I feel my world has flipped and I'm really angry with everyone what do I do? Any advice I would be very greatfull for right now I'm really struggling 

  • Hi im not sure about one thing you mentioned he's had an operation,  with prostate cancer they check everything scans and biopsy before anything else then decide treatment. If cancer spread outside prostate they don't operate as risk is spreading it in blood. 

    I was diagnosed feb 2016, prostate gone too lymph node's pelvis spine, ribs and a lung, went on hormone therapy and bit of chemo, not curable yet I've got used my uninvited guest. Believe it or not now and again i get bitten and treatment changes  but i manage ok mostly. 

    Alot of people like to be treated as normal so don't tell others as things will change. 

    Good luck with your father's treatment

    Ps .cancer isn't a death sentence people live years with it.
