Hi,

last thursday is what i can only discribe as the worst day of ny life so far.

My dad was diagnosed with gullit cancer and was taken into hospital so I went to see him in the evening and he was all over the place in his head he was delearious I was working the weekend and didnt get to see him.

At 3pm this afternoon (Monday) I was called out of work by my wife telling me my dads kindeys were shuting down and he didnt have long left, so off I shot to the hospital to find out that his liver had shut down and his kindneys wernt far behind he was hooked up to drips monitors and wires everywhere it took me all my strength not to cry his eyes are blood shot hands and feet where swollen and looked yellow.

The specialist has told us he only has days left hows that happened so fast less than a week im devistated BUT if the worst is to happen I hope i does happen quickly and not drag itself out.

I love him and i'll miss him

Andy, I am so sorry to learn of your dads diagnosis. It must be a terrible shock for all your family. I lost my mum in september to gullet cancer after a battle of 9 weeks from her diagnosis, and I am trying hard to come to terms with the death, so I can emapthise with how you must feel just now..

I wish you strength to help you through this journey, and hope that if the end is indeed close, then your dad is peaceful and painfree. It is not easy watching anyone go through this, and all the harder when it has come so unexpectedly.

Feel free to add me as a friend and pm me if you have any questions, I will answer them as best I can.

Thinking of you and your family ((hugs)) Sharonx

Andy, wish you and your family all the strength in the world to cope with your dad right now and, I too, hope he doesn't have to suffer too much. Life's really so fragile and we only realise this when we are faced with such horror. Ann x

My thoughts are with you today. I hope that your dad is comfortable as he can be. Although it is of no comfort now, your dad will be with you always in your heart and your shared memories.
