My Dad

Less than one minute read time.

Hi All,

My father is having his first chemo today for spine cancer. He was diagnosed with prostate cancer two years ago, but it has now advance to his spine. He is 79 years old, not particularly frail but he is very scared.

I live miles away from him - him in Norfolk and me in Surrey. There is no one to care for him except me. I have talked to him about having his treatment and staying with me, but he is concerned that this won't be possible. I am quite desperate to find a solution for his care...ideally for him to be treated locally to me. 

I would of course go to him, but I have children, am a single mum and the only person that works to bring in money to the house, so can't risk my job.

If anyone has any experience in this I would be grateful for your knowledge.

Thanks

Vicky
