my brother is 17 and just been told he has leukaemia. after being told by our local doctors it was only virous but then after he didnt wake up one day and going yellow we knew that something wasnt right. this all happened on a wedensday on the thursday morning they told me and my family that he had cancer. it was such a shock he never gets ill. i dont like seeing him ill and i cant really talk to anyone because no one really understands. theres always my mum and dad but i dont wana add extra stress. so i thought id come on here and see if anyone would like a chat too see if its the same in there family
It is indeed a difficult situation .But do not lose heart,life is full of such upheavels.Do not shy away from approaching a counsellor .They are a great help.
Aww, honey. You poor thing. It'll be hard at first, but try talking to your dad. When my mom had cancer I talked to my school guidance councilor. You should too. xx
I'm 13 and my older brother has just been diagnosed with leukemia. My mom died from cancer when I was 4, so I can't talk to her and my dad just goes round in a state of ignorance. He just pretends like nothing is happening. My brother has been told he only has a few months to live and he just can't accept it. None of us can. My friends are sympathetic but they don't understand, none of them do. My teacher recommended this website, so I'm asking if anyone can help? Will it get better? When will I accept it? Who can I talk to? Help!
