Found out tonight my dad has advanced prostate cancer going to his bones as he put it...worst thing was hearing him tell me, then keeping it together to tell others...
I am so sorry to hear this - I am sure you are in bits. I don't know what your dad is like but I know myself that I don't expect people around me to be strong always.
Cupcakeanator = what a terrible shock for you to hear your lovely dad have this illness in such and advanced statte. It seems impossible to find an answer and there is no good end in sight. I am so sorry that life has come to you like this. Its so easy to try to be strong = but so hard to do. Its an untrod path. Try to get closer to Dad and find out all you need from him. There maybe a time when he becomes a patient. I made videos of my mum chatting while she was well = its so nice to see them!! My dad and I made peace when he was ill = and our relationship gave me the strength to get through.
You will be in shock and stress = its best to wait until things have settled before saying or doing anything. In the meantimes = be kind and pampering to yourself. Some times its best to let life carry you.
Hi again = there maybe times when you need to find relief and also let off steam = don't forget us - we have been through this ourselves and understand.
Have a lovely day and try to see the sunshine through the mists. We are so sorry you all find yourselves in this situation.
Most likely dad doesn't realise that he feels negative = I went for a walk in the woods this morning = and symbolically placed all your cares in the bole of an old tree that has seen it all over 200 years. The birds were singing merrily and the flowers were showing all their lovely clothes. We will be thinking of you and dad over the next few days.
