So sorry about your dad. I’ve just gone through cancer, a surprise diagnosis. &nbsp;I just know the emotional support that I got from my kids was such a help. &nbsp;You’ll just need to be there for your dad, be wise in your decisions about quitting your study. Always ring the Cancer Council for advice. <span class="lia-unicode-emoji" title=":two_hearts:">💕</span> LindaG&nbsp;</P> Sat, 19 Jun 2021 04:05:10 GMT https://onlinecommunity.cancercouncil.com.au/t5/New-Start-here/My-dad-has-a-brain-tumour/m-p/37869#M6582 LindaG 2021-06-19T04:05:10Z
