Hello everyone my name on here is Bagsie , our 36 yr old son has been diagnosed with testictular, lung,and bowel cancer he's had the testicle removed . As parents we are having difficulty getting our heads around the fact he has cancer and the other part which we have to respect is he wants to do this completely on his own .

i am unable to do the usual motherly stuff due to being wheelchair bound and disabled after having a stroke .

im wondering if there is anyone on here that has any tips for us to maybe help us cope better thanks in anticipation
