    I have been staying with my dad because my mom doesn't want me around when she is sick, which is all the time. My dad works at night so I spend a lot of time alone since I'm not with my mom. I'm afraid she is going to die and I'll blame myself for not being there more. more...

my dad was diagnosed with lung cancer a few weeks ago and it was a real shock to me

Hi,my dad was diagnosed with lung cancer a few weeks ago and it was a real shock to me I didn't know what to do so I sat and cried. I was really confused,scared and worried I told my friends at school and they didn't really know what to say because cancer hasn't affected their family but I like to talk to them about it because they help me by listening to what I have to say. I think that talking to friends helps a lot because they are someone else to talk to rather than parents or teachers . I feel very sad most of the time and very worried my dad has had chemo 4 times and I can already see a difference in him he is very tired and is losing weight. His face is a little droopy and it makes me worry a lot because I want him to get better but see him gradually getting worse hurts me because I can't do anything to stop him getting worse.
