Unhappy boyfriend's second parental cancer situation

My boyfriend and I have been together for almost five years and everything is great. I love him so much. We're both 25 and have just finished university, looking for jobs. While doing so, we're staying with his dad and two younger brothers, they're 18 and 17.
His mum passed away about a year and a half ago from breast cancer. Of course, everyone is still grieving her...she was wonderful and much too young to pass. Now, we've just found out his dad's got cancer too. Apparently it was found early and should be highly treatable, but that's what they said about his mum's disease too. I can't believe something like this can happen to such a lovely family...it's so terribly unfair. I don't know anyone else who has or has had cancer, and now it's BOTH his parents. I wish there was anything I could do...
My boyfriend is, obviously, very distressed, but being a man, he's trying to hide it. I love him to bits and it hurts me so much he has to go through something like this, again. How can I support and help him and his family? Any ideas what to do? I want to be there for them in any way I can, but of course, I can't really relate to this situation, I don't know what to do, this time even more than the last.

Talking Re: boyfriend's second parental cancer situation

That is a awful experience, i hear of many one parents cases of cancer, but i do know of one case where both parents where digonsed. It is such a sad story and my heart goes out to you in your time of need.

I also just started a website blog that helps in dealing with the grieving process of cancer, i lost my father, he was only 50 to stomach cancer. That was almost three years ago and it is still a daily struggle. I designed my site to help those grieve and to help people who have not experienced this terrible diease first hand, and i give insight on how i would have wanted to have a stitution handled and what people around me could have done.

I made this site to actally help people like me who are grieving and not sure how to feel and to help people in your shoes, a loving caring person who just feels 'helpless' right now to your boyfriend.

my site is

Victim of Cancer

if you go later tonight i will have a blog post for you.

Default Re: boyfriend's second parental cancer situation

Obviously this is very shocking news. I can understand your feelings. Your postings seems that how much pain you're feeling from inside for your boyfriend. But don't let yourself to get week. Also your boyfriend seeks mental support from your side. Discuss with doctors about his dad’s proper medications. One thing I can say, I've heard Curcumin Extract Capsules are quite helpful for cancer patients, as researchers found that Curcumin taken from turmeric has very good impact on cancerous cells. Here is a link you can check out Curcumin Extract- Natural Health Supplement

As I know this herbal product does not have any side effects. But also you can talk to your doctor before applying to the patient.
