My Dad's got Hodgkin's lymphoma and is having a life threatening transplant. I struggle through school and feel left out.😭😭
Hello Erin
Robyn from the Riprap team here it sounds a really tough time for you just now and I am sure other Riprap visitors will have similar experiences of struggling at school and feeling left out whilst also facing lots of worries from home. It’s not surprising you are feeling overwhelmed. If you would like to talk things over in more detail privately then you are welcome to contact the Riprap team using our get in touch form.
We are all experienced cancer nurses and can help answer questions about lymphoma , how it is treated and also help you and your family to find the support you need so things are a bit easier for you. You can write anytime and we will always answer as soon as we can – usually the same day or the next working day ( mon-Fri) You may also find it helpful to have a read through other posts on Riprap
Best wishes
Robyn
Hey, I feel the exact same through my mum having cancer but only a couple of very close friends know about it. Anytime you ever wanna talk, I'm here for you. I know how you feel x
Hi, I feel the same way. I have a really tough time at school too. The best piece of advice I can give is don't waste the time you have at home. I know you might not want to hear this right now(because I didn't) but it will get better. It always gets better. You will get through this because that is how life is. There can't be good times without bad times. Just know that when your good time comes you will be unstoppable. Sincerely,Chris
