I'm posting anonymously because I'm a private person but I really need to get this off my chest. My SOs dad went to the doctor this morning and called us saying they found cancer in his upper stomach/oesophagus. He hasn't been feeling well since this Fall and it's just gotten worse, like the biggest problem is his body WONT let him swallow food! That's when he decided to go get checked out. Now we're waiting for him to get home. I am so scared. My bf's mom passed away a year ago from cancer, he was also the primary caregiver to her and now he may have to care for his dad. Life is so cruel and unfair. He's only 30 and now he may lose both parents. After his mom's death we had a rocky relationship for a long time and now it's going to start all over and I'm so scared for his dad and for our future. And I just don't know what to do anymore. I've been googling and his symptoms sound like it has progressed and it doesn't look good. We'll know more when he gets back.

If you've read this far, thank you. I just needed someone, anyone, to listen because I really don't know where to turn.

Has anyone lost both parents to cancer?! WHY THE FUCK DOES THIS HAPPEN?!
