Hello everyone. 5 weeks ago my dad was brought into hospital and we were led to believe that he had cysts around his pancreas and kidneys that could be dealt with through surgery. I booked a holiday to America over a year ago and so I still went believing that my dad would be okay.
I got back yesterday and my family told me that my dad has pancreatic cancer. They said the tumour is too big to do anything about it and that he as 3-6months to live.
I really can't believe this has happened. I've always been such a daddy's girl and cannot imagine my life without him. I'm 20 years old and can't believe that my dad won't be around to see me graduate, get married, have kids etc. I feel like my life has ended and I don't know how I'm going to cope with this. I can't understand that there is nothing that can be done about it, surely there is something?!? They can't just let him die.
I would appreciate it if someone could talk to me about this who has maybe experienced the same thing. No-one in my family has had cancer before-I'm just really confused right now.
