Hi,
I am 33 years old, and an only child my dad is just 64. In 2000 my dad was diagnosed with skin cancer, today in 2010 he has been diagnosed with terminal lung cancer. I feel like my world has fallen apart, I love my dad more than he will ever know. What terrifies me the most is I watched my father in law die from lung cancer - he was told in Nov and died 6 weeks later in Jan......I don't think I can watch my beloved dad go through that.
I have 2 young children 9 and 6, I don't know what to tell them if anything....
I don't know how to feel or behave, I feel so useless and selfish.........my dad has had a really tough life and I feel devasted that it is now going to be cut short for him, that he will not see my children grow up, that he and my mum will have no retirement together.
Thank you for reading x
