impendimenta

Hi! Thanks for doing this. I’m a child of a stage 4 cancer patient and find myself at a loss for words sometimes around my dad. What are some of the best/most encouraging things that people have said to you about your illness? I want to be encouraging and loving, but I’m also prone to saying the wrong thing/being awkward. It’s a tricky situation to be in with the uncertainty about the future and how long he’ll even be around.

Also, I really hope you’re doing well. Cancer is a bitch.

Holy shit you replied. I feel like the belle of the ball. Thanks so much for your words of wisdom! Your insight here is invaluable to me.

(Also my pop is 62 and in remission for the first time in years. I hope yours gets whipped too! Keep on going.)
