I am 17 years old and I am living with both my parents and my sister. My dad has lymphoma cancer. My dad has just had his last round of chemo therapy and will start radiotherapy after he has had some scans.
I thought I was coping well with my dad's illness and I thought I was still quite a happy person but these past few weeks have been really hard and I'm not sure how to cope. I feel like everyone forgets that my dad has cancer and I feel like I'm in this on my own. None of my friends know what to say to me and I rarely talk to anyone about my dad and his illness because I don't want to bother anyone with my problems.
I miss how things used to be and I'm afraid that I'm becoming depressed.
