Went to the hospital today to get results of dads CT scan. It wasn't good news, Dads cancer is terminal. He possibly has two years with radiotherapy. I am still shocked although it is secondary lymp node cancer I thought it would be treatable. I hope he gets some quality of life soon, since having his biopsy in October he's had an infection in the wound that won't go away even after a stay in hospital. The infection is really affecting his daily life as he mainly stays in bed. I want him to fight this!!! I fear if he carries on suffering he'll not make it to 2 years. Strange though after hearing the news today he perked up and even got his appetite back. Requesting fish and chips!! Scared of whats to come, don't want to cry too much now as I know there will be many more to come.
