&lt;p&gt;He was &amp;nbsp;diaginosed with oesophagus cancer in September last year, but due to poor health (stroke 8yrs ago) no treatment apart from pallitive care offered, upto a month or so ago he was doing well, but now on morphine for the pain, and becoming weaker, he has lost weight, but his stomach is like a 9mth pregnant woman, we have good days and bad, and emotions are up and down, he is in a nursing home and me and my sister go in every day and never know what we are walking into..&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Hes a battler and very stubborn, still tries to walk but normally has to go in wheelchair , breaks my heart to see my dad like this xx&lt;/p&gt;

Lots of things to sort  out for the funeral, which is on 10feb.  She wasnt ready to go and she said she was scared which is what still haunts us, we know she is at peace now, but it has left a huge chunk in our lives, to think the grand children she worshipped she will not see grow into adults , they were her life.xx&lt;div style="clear:both;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;img src="https://community.macmillan.org.uk/aggbug?PostID=223647&amp;AppID=18532&amp;AppType=Weblog&amp;ContentType=0" width="1" height="1"&gt;</content><author><name>Former Member</name><uri>https://community.macmillan.org.uk/members/formermember</uri></author><category term="funeral" scheme="https://community.macmillan.org.uk/cancer-blogs/b/lou_/archive/tags/funeral" /><category term="secondary" scheme="https://community.macmillan.org.uk/cancer-blogs/b/lou_/archive/tags/secondary" /><category term="brain" scheme="https://community.macmillan.org.uk/cancer-blogs/b/lou_/archive/tags/brain" /><category term="Brain cancer, secondary" scheme="https://community.macmillan.org.uk/cancer-blogs/b/lou_/archive/tags/Brain%2bcancer_2C00_%2bsecondary" /></entry></feed>
