@Gigi1938‍ I am sorry to hear that your dad was diagnosed with cancer. What type of cancer has he been diagnosed with? Do you know what stage?

The most important thing, in my opinion, is to be there for him and show him that you love him, but at the same time continue to treat him as normal as possible... He needs to be strong also mentally. So what I am saying is be there for him, help him, etc. but do not make it to the point where he can just rely on you because the love of family and the push are important aspects.

Please feel free to reach out to us here on the forum so that we can try and lend a hand.

I am so so very sorry. I totally understand the sad/mad part. My father died tragically, unrelated to cancer, in 2004, and I was mad for over 10 years.

My mother had breath as well as ovarian cancer. She is still alive at 82. She and God healed her ovarian cancer. She was stage 4.

Im glad you’ve found this group, it helps to talk to others in the same sit. I’m very very sorry! Have u looked into natural remedies?

I completely understand as I don’t have anyone to talk to also. I’m a widow & I live alone. My oldest son died in 2021 & my youngest son & his family live 3 hours. My father is dead & my mother has chronic back pain & is immobile. My younger sister lives with our mother & she is going through a divorce from her husband who abandoned her. My sister doesn’t visit me, help me, call me & rarely texts me. I have various cousins, a niece & nephew that are spread out in nearby states but are hours away from me. After I told my friends I had cancer, they quit contacting me. I have learned how to be my own care giver. It has been very difficult. I’ll admit I’ve been depressed, cried a lot, felt sorry for myself but I never gave up. I prayed & read my Bible everyday. Then I found cancer groups online like this one where I could share what I was going through & got empathetic responses. That really kept me going. I hope you find someone to talk to but I highly recommend the online cancer chat groups.
