My sad Christmas Day haas turned into a devastating New Year.

Yesterday we found out that my dear dad has cancer. 

We won't know any more until he sees the onchologist Monday week.

Sorry to hear this devastating news DG and hope they can offer your DD some treatment.  Loving thoughts and good wishes to you and your family.  Thanks for letting us know the outcome of the tests, have been wondering how things were.

Be strong & try & stay cheerful, hard to do I know.

Hugs

DG you will find a lot of support her as many of us are Cancer survivors or  have been touched by Cancer in another way. good luck to your dad.

DG, so sorry to hear your news.  I had been keeping an eye on this thread to see what was happening.  My best wishes to you and your family.

Hugs from Melbourne to you.

i join everyone else here in wishing your father a speedy recovery. All the best and be strong (hard I know).

DG so sorry to hear your news. Please try and stay strong and positive (especially around your Dad - I had my melt downs in private).

There is always a listening ear here for you or otherwise this is one of the best places to go for some respite. As Gretch says there are many of us here that have been touched in some way - my own personall experience very very recent. Thinking of you heaps.

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.

ETA - this advice was given when Mum was having her treatment (as it is true what they say about the treatment - it's horrible!)

Hope that may help you a little  

[Very Happy Jan]

So sorry to hear your sad news DG. Hopefully there will be some better news from the oncologist when your dad goes.  Faffa's advice is good. Make each day as good as it can be.

Really sorry to hear your news DG - just one step at a time one day at a time!  And I can only echo
faffa's excellent advice - I'd even go so far as to write it out and keep it almost as an affirmation -

"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."

we're all thinking of you.

DG I am sorry to read of your devastating news. I, like many others have been waiting to hear.
Faffa's advice is excellent. I think it is a good thing to write down and keep near you. Believe me the first few days after the diagnosis are the worst. Then somehow you come to terms with things and get on with it. As Gretchen said many of us on here have personal stories of cancer and are still around to tell the stories.
As faffa said be strong for your Dad and have your melt downs in private with your immediate family. My thoughts are with you. Take care.

DG,  try not to preempt what the specialist will say.  We always think the worst.  Keep in touch.

[johnro]

DG my thoughts are with you and your family - the shock of such news is so difficult. I found the only way is to hold on to the view that life is dealt to us minute by minute and that is all we can expect to deal with - we can do nothing about the minute that is past and there is no control over the future minutes. Know that many feel your present pain and sadness!!!!!

[DizzyGirl]

Thank you all for your love and support. It is very much appreciated. I haven't told many people as I am waiting til we gt the results from the specialist and it is great to know I can come here and am not alone.

Thanks again
DG xxxx
