Dad recently diagnosed. Heartbroken needing advice

i dont know where to start with this? im absolutly devastated and my heart is aching so bad. im a only child and im finiding it hard at the moment! i suppose its going to be a hit and miss but recently my dad has been told he has secondary cancer with the primary cancer unknown. they gave him 12 months to live

his been really ill the past four weeks, he hasnt eaten barely drunk anything and can hardly get around. He starts chemo after christmas but theyve told him that its incurable. ive tried explaining to my mom that cancer is statistics it doesnt mean that everyone isnt going to be uncured and that they go on the vast majority of statistics and that theres always hope.

anyway, weve been researching cannabis oil, ive seen so many positive results and really im just looking for some information, advice and maybe some success storys?

i really dont think my mom will cope and i know i need to be strong for my mom

thank you for reading.

    I'm very sorry about your dad's diagnosis. I can't begin to imagine how difficult this must be for you but I just wanted you to know you're not alone. Many of our members have been in similar positions with their parents and loved ones so will understand what you're going through at the moment and I'm sure they'll pop by when they can to offer their support and advice.

    I saw you were asking about cannabis oil so I just wanted to make you aware of the latest information regarding this on the NHS website.

    Kind regards,

  • Hi

    I'm in the same boat - mum diagnosed with secondary breast cancer 3 weeks ago and given months to 2 years. Still can't come to terms with this and really struggling at the age of 30. 

    Just wanted you to know you're not alone
