I've never been on here before, never needed a reason I guess, dad got diagnosed with bowl cancer Xmas eve 2016, since then he's had 2 surgeries both "successful" but it's come back each time. We have just been told it's now back with a vengeance only took 4 months from nothing to basically everywhere. He's been given 2 to 3 months, I literally just had a melt down it doesn't seem real, how can this happen to my dad. I know thousands of ppl go through this every day but when it's your dad it's catastrophic.
I don't live close to him 250 miles away, n work 47.5 hrs a week so getting time of is *** i don't get 2 days together so that's imposdible. Especially now it's Xmas I don't want to let my team down. But I don't know what to do, so little time left I don't want to be working, but I need the money.
I just don't know what to do, everyone says do what's best for you n your dad. Him getting better is what's best, but that ain't going n to happen he's only 63, his wife was killed by a drunk drug driver 2 years ago. He's had absolutely *** 2 years so down to me to sort everything I'm petrified. My heads mashed.
It's the things he's going to miss out on, seeing me married one day, grandkids, etc feel so robbed. Its not fair, i don't know what to do.
My tolerance patience is extremely thin, I work in retail, if anything happens not sure I'll be able to keep a level head at work.
Just don't know what to do help
