New here, some sad news today

Hello everyoneI have found out today that my dad has cancerous cells and is going to go for a CT scan. It is very early days and I don't even really know what this means, what will happen next....I am feeling very frightened and worried and wanted to reach out to people to talk about this journey 

I have always ignored that fact my parents will one day be old and now in my mid 30s I am having to think about this 

 

today has been terrible I cried all the way home I hate the uncertainty 

 

 

 

  • Hey I know exactly what you are going through .My best advice I can give is to always be there for your dad and start making memories. Even if it's just out for walk or even a local cafe for breakfast. Stay positive cancer cells can mean a lot of things depending on where the cancer is . My mum has cancer cells in her womb and breast both removed and got the all clear . My dad wasn't so lucky he had a tumour , but like I said make memories take lots of photos and just have fun . Don't let cancer beat you up and stay strong . It's ok to cry we wouldn't be human if we didn't but stay positive around your dad he needs you to be strong and talk to your mum brother or sister or even a best friend if you got any problems. Take care xx 

  • Hi tj cancerous cells can be anything where are they a ct scan is to check over all the body it doesn't mean there is cancer and cells don't mean a tumour there's a big difference if you want us to tell you anything your going to have to give us more information, like where the cells are for a start best wishes...

  • Hi TJ1985. My mum has been diagnosed with breast cancer and we are awaiting results for a CT scan of her thorax and abdomen and a whole body bone scan to know if it has spread. The wait is horrible. She is keeping busy and trying to eat well. I keep having moments where I forget cancer has entered our lives... then I remember. My thoughts are with you and your father Xx
