I'm angry.
I want to support my father who has been told has 5 years left but I'm so angry.
When will this pass, so I can be supportive?

Hello Nel1
I'm sorry to hear that your father has recently been given an incurable cancer diagnosis. It's perfectly understandable that you're feeling angry at the situation that you find yourselves in.
What has the hospital said about the care and management for your father? I hope that they have been able to reassure him that there is support available.
Hearing that a loved one has cancer can be an incredibly difficult time and it's natural to experience a rollercoaster of emotions. Be kind to yourself Nel1 as you process this news. Talk with friends and family about how you're feeling. If it would help to talk with someone outside of your situation you're welcome to call our nurses. I know they will be happy to listen and offer any advice, support and information they can. They're available Monday to Friday 9am to 5pm on 0808 800 4040. You might also find it helpful to read through some of the information on our website for family members.
Feel free to post here in the Cancer Chat community if it helps to have a safe space to put down in words how you're feeling. We're here for you.
Best wishes,
Jenn
