Nothing more they can do?!

Less than one minute read time.

Dad's been taken off his Tarveca today and has been told there's nothng else they can try. It's just a case of keeping him comfortable now. It's hard for me to hear, but even harder is seeing dad so down. It's like he's starting to give up. I'm not ready to lose him yet. I wish there was something I could do!

It sounds silly but he wants a monitor for home to be able to keep an eye on his oxygen levels. I don't know if such thing exists - but that is what I am concentrating on. I know it sounds so trivial, but thats the only thing his asked for and it gives me something to focus - does that make sense to anyone else?

I say thats the only thing he wants - he did ask for a new set of lungs tonight! If only they could do that for him. xx

    My heart goes out to you too, my husband passed away on nov 5th unexpectedly with an infection (his resistance to infection was non existent because of the chemo) i did'nt get the chance to say goodbye. All i have left are our memories, he was only 60,

    Hi Vikki, my thoughts are with you. As Sinead has said it might help to focus on little things that are just afew days away. My dad even booked a short holiday in Spring so he had something to look forward to. Sending you love and strength, Val X
