DG - I can't really add anything to what everyone else has said but I do hope it's helpful to you to have somewhere to offload.

Keep strong for yourself and for your father and just take every day at a time for the moment.   Let us know how the oncologist appt. goes.

Good luck  :-* :-*

Never let go of hope DG.  It is one of the only things that kept me going in my journey with my son as well as with my friend's little girl.

Plus you need to allow yourself to grieve through the process.  Try to go with the flow as much as you can.  As faffa has said, be there and present and don't expect anything of yourself.  This is all completely new and there are no wrong feelings! 

Much love and strength to you. xxx

XXXOOO DG
Please keep positive for your dear Dad.



P.s. the best advice I was given from a cancer survivor when my Mum was diagnosed was to be present and available ... in other words don't go worrying about what next month or year will be, just concentrate on getting through today and making it the best one, then focus on tomorrow tomorrow.

That is wonderful advice!

Hugs and strength and peace coming your way.
There is no easy way out, just through. My mother in law is almost finished 2nd bout of chemo and she is an inspiration.

Sorry I haven't been on here much. Things haven't been good. Dads cancer has spread. So far it is in his lungs, bones, kidney and stomach. Mum and dad are still waiting to see the Specialist on Monday. I won't be able to go with them as I will be in Sydney attending my best friends funeral. Unfortunately my BF lost his battle on Monday night. He has had a heart condition since birth and wasn't expected to live long, but he made 42 years (just...... he died the morning after his birthday).
