my dad has cancer

 Hello ,

I thought I'd introduce my self I am new here...My dad has a terminal kind of cancer called mesothelioma its a kind of lung cancer from asbestos he worked around all his life, he never ever even smoked ciggretts! He is 71 yrs old I am 37. Its been really hard and sad too see my dad go thru all he has and is. I have some really down days where I get real deppressed about it all & the only thing that gets me thru it is God.My 71 year old mom takes care of him at home I don't live far so I help also.

I worry about my mom seeing all of this also , I just lost my best friend from  bone and lung cancer 3 years ago I held her hand as she passed away. I thought that was the saddest thing I have ever seen ... Now so soon here I go again now this time with my other best friend my dad.Hes starting to go down hill sad to say hes had alot of chemo not eating well if at all some times its so sad to watch a loved one go thru this it feels like cancer dont care and we have to sit back and feel helpless when i just want to save him and I can't. I just tell him how much he means to me and that i love him every chance i get now a days I am not ready for this and wonder how sad life will be without him , its already so sad watching him go thru this!

My Fathers Loss

Many years ago, I lost my father after his battle with colon cancer that later spread to his bones. The grief stayed with me longer than I expected. Ambrosia Behavioral Health helped me work through that loss, understand my emotions, and find healthier ways to cope and move forward. https://www.ambrosiatc.comSee More

Traumatic loss of an only child

I started this group so that people who have lost their only child or the only child that remained, as in my case, could come together because I believe people that did have a child or children who now have none have special issues.
