Hi,
My dad was diagnosed with terminal cancer in April, bowel cancer which spread to the liver and lungs. The first round of chemo didn’t work, so they have tried him on another one (not sure what it’s called) this is a more aggressive chemo and he is losing his hair and getting a ‘round’ face or ‘moon face’.
I work away from home and don’t go back very often. I’m struggling to come to terms with the fact my dad won’t be there to become a grandad or see me get married. I try to bury it down most of the time and forget about it because it’s definitelty easier. But when I actually think about it, I cannot stop crying and it just all gets on top of me.
Has anybody tried counselling for a similar issue? Or is this normal? I have no idea how I should be feeling or if I should be talking about it to somebody other than family.
