Hi amieliza,
so sorry about your dad's illness.
A cancer diagnosis is scary enough...especially when there are lots of unknowns...like in your dad's situation.
there isn't really anything anyone can say that can make things 'better'
but this forum and talking to others will hopefully help you feel less alone.
Dad's are very special.
(well my dad was...and sounds like yours is too!)
I maybe know a little about how you feel?...
my dad recently died, a little over a year after a primary brain tumour diagnosis. (glioblastoma)He was only 60.
of course we knew what is was and were told the grim statistics (survival median 14.6 months...ra ra)
but it's a very frightening things when someone you care abouts future is not certain.
and hard if your dad is 'keeping things' to himself a bit.
I guess it's hard to know what to say or do for everyone in this situation.
I really wish you that you can have many wonderful times with your dad...
love him up...
try
to enjoy the time you have,
breathe and be with him.
and be kind to yourself...this is hard hard stuff!...
cry when you need to, get support (counselling is great!)
cancer council are really helpful too and this forum too.
again so sorry
with love
tatsoi
