Answer #2

It’s a dreadful thing to have to deal with, and most of us end up knowing someone with cancer and watching them go through hell. But a lot of people beat if, if it’s caught early. If it hasn’t spread, maybe they can operate and get rid of it all. Talk to both of them as much as possible and see if you can find out more about the diagnosis. There are also lots of clinical trials going on these days where new medicines are tested. So many people just listen to what one doctor says, but you have to educate yourself too and research as much as you can about alternative treatments if necessary. Give them your full support. It’s hard, but they need people around them not to fold :) Good luck!

Answer #3

I’m sorry to hear about your dad and his girlfriend. It’s okay to feel sad especially if you’re afraid of losing them. There’s no cure for cancer yet, only medicines to slow down the process. It can still be treated though if it’s in its early stage. Have you asked the doctor?

Answer #4

try to spend as much time with them as possible if possible

Answer #5

Pray to God to give you the strength

Answer #6

I am very sorry to hear about your father’s girlfriend being diagnosed with Cancer. It is very hard to hear of such a thing in your family. Best thing to do is talk to them, tell them how concerned you are, and if you break down and cry, break down and cry! I had to watch my own grandfather suffer in 2000, and it was painful for my mother and I to watched the one man we looked up to die like that. Familiar yourself with what cancer she has, and if your father has it, same thing. Go to appointments to learn, do research online. I remember when grampy died, he told me to not worry about him, and to take care of my mother even tho I was in foster care. It’s hard, yes, but soon, you will know what you need to know, and will have talked to them about how you feel and how concerned you are. When they find out, it will make them feel much better because they know you love them that much more, and your caring about them.
