Hi there everyone,
My dad was diagnosed with cancer of the gullet in november , he is just eating soups and drinking protein shakes ! dad is also a diabetic aswell so hoping it doesnt interfere with this . Ive never expereinces any feelings like this before and am very scared for my dad and for my mum who is now his carer ! dads cancer is inoperable and he is due to start chemotherapy next week , i think he is starting to give up on things now though as he is in constant pain and has just no life about him anymore , i dont know what to say or do to help him through it ! and i really wnt a realistic view of whats ahead seeing as dads cancer is inoperable and he isnt going to get better :-( x
