help - really scared
hey my name is evan and im almost 16 years old. i've asked some questions on here before about my cancer. i went to the doctor the other day after completing chemo to deal with my skin cancer. i thought i was getting better but my doctor told me that my cancer has advanced to stage 4 and gotten worst. then he went in the hall with my parents and left me alone. after about half an hour my mom came back in crying and hugged me and kissed my head. i asked what the doctor said and she said not to worry about it and then we went home. im really scared. i dont know whats going on from here. im really worried the doctor said im dying. even my brother was really nice to me the last few days and we basically hate eachother. what do i do? i dont want my parents to know i mite know whats going on cause they dont want me to know yet. what should i do? and do u think im right?

You have every right to know the prognosis of your disease. Your parents probably think they are protecting you, but they may have forgotten that you can imagine things far worse than the truth. I know, 15 is not 18, but you're clearly old enough to figure out that something's going on.
Talk to them. Tell them that given their reactions, you can only assume you will be dead by next week... if that's not the case you'd sure like to know. It may be easier for them to talk about things if you bring the subject up.
Remember that this is very hard for them as well. Cut them some slack.
P.S. Aked around about this. If push comes to shove, you should be able to ask you doctor directly and be told what's going on. But go through the 'rents first.

You absolutely HAVE to sit them down and tell them you're feeling this way. In depth and honestly. Tell them you need to talk to them and keep them quiet until you're finished. Tell them you want honesty and that what seems to be their lack of openness with you is causing you serious stress and paranoia. I must also point out that this is not helpful to your health, though I am sure they're doing it because they believe it's the best thing for you.
