Hello all. My name is Renee and I am 16 years old. A few weeks ago my family found out that my dad had a tumour in his bowels. That came off as a shock because I was not expecting that coming home from school. I had hope, "its just a tumour" they can take it out and it will be gone after that" however that wasn't the case, my dad was hospitalised for a week after removing the tumour and on his last day at the hospital, we'd recieved news that he has stage 3 cancer and that it had spread to his lymph nodes. My heart was torn in half at that moment, of course I started crying, who wouldn't? My dad and I have such a close bond, I dont want him to leave me so soon, I want to take more journeys with him. I am hopeful and do believe he will get better but with stuff like this, I am not sure how to cope; can't even imagine what hes thinking. He will be undergoing chemotherapy in a few weeks, lets just pray it works on him. 

Thank You for reading and I hope you are all doing well with such a hard and tough experience.
