It was my last day at work before xmas. Things were chugging a long nicely when I got the call.............dad is very poorly dr has advised family are contacted.
My blood ran cold, then I went on to auto pilot, sorting things out getting cover at work, sorting out childcare. I was panicking that i wouldn't get to him on time. Bless him he's not giving in. He's been asleep all day but just after 10 tonight he started…
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 happened before when he was in hospital, I had a viral infection which…
My dad was diagnosed with lung in May after going to the doctors with a cough! It was such a shock, and for it to be lung cancer. He did smoke but not for the the last 28 years and he's a keen cyclist so you would think his lungs would be healthy - maybe thtas just me being ignorant?!
Anyway, he's had loads going on since then. He started chemo straight away but that didn't work, then he had fluid on his lungs which…
