Hi, my situation is simular. I'm not writing because I know how to comfort you ... because at the moment I don't know myself. I thought my mum had gull stones however found out it's cancer of overies / stomach and bowl. I have a six year old daughter and we all love with my mum so it's very frightening. One text that my friend said which did make me think was " be on their side like they have always yours, lift their hopes and don't surround yourself by the diagnosis" I hope this helps a little x stay strong 

Hello,, I'm sorry you find yourself in this situation.   My hubby has lung cancer and our two grown up daughter's also found it hard.  We chose not to tell the three grandchildren under ten years and only said he is poorly.  You must stay strong and be there for him, try to be as normal as you can, Dad's want to be seen as strong.  Also you try to be honest with your family so every one is working from the same game plan.  Don't look things up on the Internet,  his Mc Millan nurse can talk to you with his permission, so it will be his history not someone else's.  Keep chatting to people on this forum they are a big help because we are all coping with cancer.  Stay Strong.  Caz
