  • Hearing that your father has been diagnosed with cancer is difficult. Being a full-time college student and part-time caregiver during this time is even more difficult. In addition to managing schoolwork and family, Lex created the business UVA - an online cancer support community for cancer patients, survivors, and caregivers. This is her story.

    My dad just got diagnosed with cancer a couple hours ago. I’m 23, he’s all I have left. Just looking for comfort. I keep everyone in my heart & prayers that’s dealing with these types of issues. I know everything will be okay eventually.

      I’m 26 and my mom is currently on her deathbed with maybe two days left and no one tells you how mentally heavy this whole situation can be. At this point she hasn’t been conscious for five days and the doctors don’t give her much time left. It sounds cruel but I don’t want to see my mother suffer like this I would rather her stop her suffering. Death never has perfect timing and death during holidays never make those days normal again. It hurts my heart both physically and mentally seeing her like this so if anyone reads this please tell your loved ones how you feel before you can’t anymore.

      My mom has cancer, too. I know it's easy to say and I'm not always in the right mindset myself. But really meditate on what fear can bring you. Really meditate on that. Then meditate on what is the best way to behave in your situation. May Allah bless you.

Yesterday my soul smashed into 1000 pieces. Yesterday my heart stopped when I saw him cry for the first time in my life. Yesterday all my hope died. And I can't do anything to stop this damn thing. Love today, tomorrow may never come...

      Hi. My dad was diagnosed with the exact same thing - pancreatic cancer that metastasized to the liver, just this morning. I was sad but I was still able to go to work just fine. But now that it's night, and I'm about to sleep, it's only now that it's hitting me that I don't have much time with him but the thing is, he's in the other side of the world and I can't just leave because of my job. As of now, they haven't told any of my sisters yet because we're not sure how they'll take it. My other sister is in her last year of uni and the other one is only 14 years old. At this point, I'm just looking for comfort. As the eldest daughter, I have to be strong for my family. May I ask, is your dad undergoing treatment? Also, how are things for you right now?

    Hi everyone! My dad was diagnosed with cancer in September of last year. Thankfully he’s is still with us today. I was 22 when we got the news. And I had never seen or heard anybody talk about the struggle it is for someone our age to start taking care of a parent. To see your dad not being able to sleep most nights because of the pain he is in. To go to doctors appointments and be worried of what they will say this time around. My family and I also went through the stage where all there was left was the hope of him getting into a trial treatment, unfortunately he wasn’t a candidate for any of the trials that we found.
    You feel so hopeless after realizing there’s nothing you can do or even that modern medicine can do for him. God bless all of you reading this comment.

The treatment didn’t work. None of the chemotherapy did. He’s terminal now and I can’t imagine living without him.

      She has had the stem cell transplant and chemo. It has been a tough road for her as the first chemo of a year was not as effective as it needed to be. Now she has had nefro tubes put in her kidneys and radiation to reduce a mass that is blocking them from draining...and onto a new chemo. At the end of this month we will see if this chemo is working and what next steps are. It's really hard to see my Mom having to be in the hospital as her body can't seem to stay regulated with calcium, magnesium and sodium levels...and now a staff infection to boot.

      You could start with learning the correct words, spelled correctly as followed : invented, machine. In addition I thought you might know that in the English language, we do not use two greetings to begin a sentence. We don't use Hey and Hi in the same sentence back to back. Furthermore, We do not begin sentences with And; and we do do not begin a sentence with I. I , not i, referring to oneself is always capitalized in any form of the English language. Lastly, we end sentences with a period.

We just found out on Monday, 3/14/22, it has metastasized to her brain; 17 tumors, something I can't even comprehend. She starts whole brain radiation tomorrow, which may buy her and us some time.

    I’m here in search for anything to calm myself down. I don’t know what to do anymore. My father has been battling stage 4 liver cancer for over a year now and he was just okay 3 weeks ago and now ever since he came back from the hospital. It’s so hard for me to look at him in the face. The Doctors have given up on him and taken away all chemotherapy and treatments to help him. All we have left to to pray for a miracle but we’ve been reaching to God for so long I’m wondering if he’s abandoned us. They said he doesn’t have much time left, as we keep on praying day by day he seems to only get worse and worse. I’m so afraid.

My mother's health isn't good either, and I became the caretaker for both of them while navigating high school. It's still the same, and we're waiting for another PET scan in this March hoping for good news. I turn 18 in about a week, but every night I cover my ears and turn my music up so I can't hear him coughing or my dad groaning in pain and I hate it so so much, I'm still a kid, I already lost two years of high school to COVID and with college applications I felt/feel like I had/have no support.

      I’m twelve as well, my mom got diagnosed around 8 months ago. She was doing great but now more cancer is growing and it randomly happened. They said they can’t do surgery so she has to do chemotherapy again. If that doesn’t work they can’t do anything. Tbh I’m scared. But I try not to show emotion.

I'm 18 which means I have SAT this year and all I want is for him to see me get accepted into med school...If you're reading this I beg u to pray for him to get well and for me to make him proud to see his daughter becoming a doctor

    my mommy was diagnosed with colon cancer 5 days ago, it's insane how it shakes your whole world in just a short time, it's so scary and all I can do is scream cry because I love her so much, meanwhile she has a huge smile on her face and able to make jokes to the doctors and nurses, this woman is so strong I have no words.
    I just want to be there for her 24/7 and with distance being a factor it makes things extremely hard. i feel like a failure because I can't leave where I am.
    I can visit as much as possible but I feel like I've let her down already. me and my brother came to visit already and the worst part wasn't even the news it was leaving her, leaving her sitting there in the hospital bed looking so fragile and I just wanted to pick het up and hold her. her words were so loving and I couldn't help but caress her cheeks and kiss them tell her how much I missed her and I will be back, let's be strong. have faith and we will be there every step of the way. it killed me walking away I couldn't stop crying. I'm looking forward to seeing her again in a much healthier state and shinning beautifully.

She suffered so much since December 2019 till July 2023. I lost her forever. And just today, my grandpa has been diagnosed with colon cancer 💔 i feel helpless, depressed, frustrated. They are the most merciful people i have ever known. I don’t know what to do anymore to help him. He has just lost his wife and now he has been diagnosed. Good thing that the doctor told us its early and has not spread.

    My father was diagnosed with lung cancer about a month ago now, I’m 18. The doctors told us it was a rare cancer that they hadn’t seen in a very long time, it spreads three times as fast and is very aggressive. I’m an actor who is just starting out in the acting industry, and I feel as though I’ve been cheated. My brother is 12 and is a bit too young to understand, while my mother and I are doing everything in our power too help my dad. I help him walk to the bathroom, cook meals and do everything he is unable to do. As I wait, and wait, and wait for some sort of answer this video has helped me to believe it that I need to keep going.
