28 yo & dealing with loosing my dad....now I have cancer

Hello Everyone,

Im struggling at the moment big time and just need to get my feelings off my chest :cry

My dad was diagnosed with pancreatic cancer end of July last year, he took a major turn for the worse at the end of January this year and was rushed into a hospitce. I spent day and night by his side, untill he took his last breath on February 6th this year at 9.25am.

During having to deal with my heart being broken from loosing my hero dad, sorting his will, funeral and estate i was diagnosed with mestastasis thyroid cancer (papilary carcinoma) on the 23rd February which has totally turn my life upside down....im stuck in a bubble of pain guilt and worry.

i have already had a total thyroidectomy and right neck disection and i am being admitted on the 27th of this month for 4 days for RAI treatment whilst dealing with the probate for my dads estate, stress with work and also family and freinds just not understanding and they keep saying "oh its the easy cancer dont worry"....this just makes me want to smack their heads against a brick wall >:)

Sorry for the rant everyone, but i cant rant to anyone else.

  • Hi,

    There’s no such thing as an easy cancer, especially when so young.

    Feel free to smash their heads against a wall, I’d contribute to a crowd-funding website for your defence costs!

    There’s another thread about what not to say to people with cancer, you might find it therapeutic!

    Cheers

    Dave ;-)
