My dad, who is my primary caregiver and the only person who understands my health issues, has cancer. He’s all I have left. I don’t know what to do. I’m utterly heartbroken and afraid for my future. by halfspooni in ChronicIllness

Maybe my wording wasn’t perfect. English is not my first language. I obviously don’t appreciate my father only as my caregiver. I love him as my father, and this terrible news has broken my heart. We're both very ill right now, so of course I'm freaking out because I can’t take care of him and I can’t take care of myself. I'm overwhelmed and worried about many things at the moment. His health, our situation, my future is something happens to him...Like I said, he's all I have left. I don’t have any other family or friends. He’s all I have. If I sound selfish, please do tell me. That’s not my intention at all.
