How to cope with a parent having cancer?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
For them and you: Be there for them, even if it is only by phone. Also, find out the prognosis and if it is a cancer that may predict a higher likelihood that you develop cancer. I am sorry to hear that your parent has been diagnosed with cancer. I hope that it is curable.
