My dad was diagnosed with lung cancer about a week and a half ago. he is at stage 3. it has spread to his lmyph nodes. he started chemo today but i don't know. my mom is in denial and doesn't want to tell me anything. it's really hard on me because i hate not knowing what is giong to happen. i can't stop crying, i've been trying to sleep for like an hour but the thought of him leaving me completely tears me apart. i dont know what to do. my life is continuing to spiral out of control...i have no control over naything in my life.... i dont know waht to do anymore ij ust want him to be ok and the future looks grim. i've ben trying to keep a positive outlook but it is hard when it is a known fact that lung cancer is the deadliest cancer. if anyone has gone through something like this or can give me hope it will be appreciated....cause its fading...i cant take it

That sucks, your mom wont even tell you something that you have the right to know about... Try preoccupying yourself with friends, fun things, distracting things... dont get into drugs/smoking/alcohol...

Nice guys finish last, and generally they warn you just before they do.

I'm sorry....

i know its hard to have this happen to you all of a sudden... but you have to stay positive.

you have to go to your mother and sit her down and tell her you want to know what is happening... after all you do have a right to know...

your dad has a chance.. after all he is starting treatment today right... and the only think you can really do is be there for him...

i think if you can you should try and take you mind of this... maybe go out wiht friend s or something.. i know its hard... but it will help in the end...

i hope this helps you.. if you need anything else... you can pm me

You know, the best part of the best drug in the
world isn't the high. It's the moment just before you
take it. The dice are dancing on the table. Between now
and the time they stop, that's the greatest high in the world.

I'm so sorry. I remember going through my grandfather having lung cancer. He didn't make it, but he was stage 4 before it was even caught.

At stage 3 lung cancer chemotherapy, surgery, and radiotherapy can "cure" someone of the cancer. It doesn't happen 100% of the time, but there is still a definite chance he may get through this. He needs your support. You are upset, and that's completely understandable, but don't pull yourself away because you are afraid of what the outcome may be. Family support is what he definitely needs right now.

As for your mother, sit her down and have a heart to heart talk with her. Let her know that you want to know what is going on and you don't want to be left in the dark. Remind her that he needs everyone's support, and you can't give that if you don't know what's going on.

Even if I'm the only one laughing its still worth doing.
Because, in a world of moral ambiguity, laughter, though
fleeting, is the only certainty.

im so sorry to hear that . i dont know much . but im always scared because my dad smokes a little , im not sure what he does when im not there but yeah. i always think what if he gets cancer. well like the top person said. dont do things to try and get it out of your head like drugs and alcohol itll just mess you and your mom up more. music is therapy.

as for the rest i hope your dad will be cured.
best wishes.

The journey appeared to be long and harsh, but keep an optimistic attitude, try to understand that there will always be a light at the end of the tunnel. Even though, the light seemed to be very distant, you should take one step at a time, or maybe there are things which are beyond solving and the only solution is accepting the facts, no matter how destiny turns out to be, your first priority is to continue on with your own life. Feel free to message me if you want to talk
