hi im ariel and im only 15 years old.

About a month ago my dad was diagnosed with kidney cancer and it was no big deal they could just take out the kidney and he would be perfect but when they examined the kidney they realized that he was only born with one and that one had be infected with cancer. For the last month my dad has been in and out of the hospital and having many surgeries and going to dialysis evry other day and chemo every three weeks. its really hard on me seeing my dad waking up wiht abrely no hair and i dont really know who to talk to because none of my friends can realy relate to me and i hate talking to my mom about it becuase she gets depressed over it. im going through a really tough time and no one can really tell cause i constantly have a fake smile on to hide my feelings.

Hi! Ariel,  I am so sorry to hear about your Dad. I am a Dad also with a 15 yr old son. While I don't know what your going through I can imagine what my son feels. I know it's hard to see yor Dad sick but I can promise you he is very concerned about your feelings. I would suggest you express your feelings to him. If you ever want to vent your feelings anger or whatever I will give it a listen. My prayers are for your Dad &your family Take Care    john
