Journal Entry for June 18, 2008 Mood
Wednesday, June 18, 2008

Hi Everyone

 

I just signed up.  It has been really fustrating coping with my dad's illness.  It is just me and mom taking care of him.  I broke down for the first time tonight.  Instead of fighting the cancer, he is fighting me and my mother.  Has anyone had to deal with this?

    sorry to hear about your dad...when you are dealing with this illness.you yourself are angry inside.they say they take the angry out on the ones you love the most...once he can start dealing with his illness he will see that,use are strong enough to help him and get him through it,,it take time,just try to be there as much as you can,when i frist was told i had mm i was so mad at the world ,i took it out on everybody,but i realize i don;t think i would of made it ,just that my family would not give up on me and they stood by me through it all. i promise i wasn;t the best with them.but along the way they became my strengh and hope to get through this,,time and patience are the key words ,i hope things get better,just be strong for your dad take care my prayer and thoughts are with you and your family

    I agree with Veronica...well said. When I first found out that I had mm I felt "why me"? I want to live and become old,watach my grandchildren grow up. Just be there with him and for him. He has to deal with it in his own way and he will. It is very difficult for anyone to be told that they have cancer. Praying for you and your family for patience, guidance and understanding...

    Sadly yes, I've experienced some of this with my husband, also diagnosed with MM...he gets a bit pissed sometimes and to be honest...can't say I blame him, I can only imagine how I would deal with this myself.
    I hope things are improving for you...
