Don’t know how to process me dad getting cancer

Hi all just looking for some advice, (sorry if this is the wrong forum) we just found out me dad who's 60 has been told he's got liver cancer. He had a scan on Saturday 13th November, the type that they use on pregnant women not sure what it's called. He got called back to see the GP today, November 15th. The doctor (GP) he's extremely thorough when he sees you about anything, he told me dad the results. The doctor's extremely certain the cancer has started somewhere else and made its way to his liver. We all suspect it's the bowel, but we won't know until he's had more tests. 

If I'm honest I'm an emotional wreck I'm on the verge of crying when we were being told, even just sitting browsing the web or just playing a video game I'm getting upset about it and I'm not even the one who's got it. It's literally like I'm fine one minute then it'll just hit me and I'm getting up set. I'm not good with processing my emotions at the best of times but I tend to find a way through it. Yet with this I really really don't know how to deal with this. Does anyone have any advice on how's best to cope?

thanks in advance 

  • Hi, sorry to find you hear asking for advice.

    We all cope with things in different ways. 

    Getting upset and angry is part of the process. 
     

    Your dad needs more tests to find outs hats going on. And the specialists will discuss things in meetings. They will then decide on the best treatment plan for your dad.

    Treatment plans can be very varied. 
    write down any questions you or he has. See if someone can attend appoitments with him as often bambooozeeled

    with information.

    it's ok to cry -
