Hiya Sam
a few year back my best friend and her family discovered that her dad had some kinda cancer, it took a few years and some horrible treatments for him but he got better and my friends come out the other side stronger, that was about 2 years ago.
But last week my friend told me the cancer came back and they dont know what their dads gona do, he can go through the treatment again (but it might not work) or have some medicine that'll keep him alive longer but not stop the cancer. My heart broke for her when she told me, i just feel horrible for her and her family, there all under pressure now cause her dad cant do as much as he used to be able to do and everyone in her house has to put alot into helping eachother out. Weve got our gcses next year too and weve just started our science courses so shes got so much to do.
She gets upset when she talks about her dad, i think shes scared hell die, im scared of that too. My dad died over a year ago and i dont want her to go through all that too. I get upset just thinking about what could happen. I wana help her out, but i dont know how, and when she talks to me about her dad i dont know what to say sometimes, i dont wana talk to her about the fact her dad might die cause i want her to think positive and enjoy time with her dad. But i dont wana not talk to her about her dad cause i think she needs to let it out, i just want to be able to give her the right advice and for her to know im here if she needs help with anything.
Sorry its long but any advice would be nice, thanks.
