Dad had been coughing up blood, and was getting pains in his chest, so i rang for paramedics, and he got admitted, that night my life changed . . .
He was diagnosed with lung cancer, and after tests, we were told it has spread to his liver and lymph nodes, and even with chemo he has less than a year!
The one person, who has been through everything with me is slowly dying infront of me.
I dont have close family around me, so have to deal with this on my own, aswell as work, and care for my nephew who lives with my dad, its so hard being a daughter, carer and a mother all in one!
One minute im happy, the next im angry and could punch out at anything, then i start crying, ive got such mixed emotions, i dont want my dad to leave me, and i feel selfish.
i feel i am still in denial, i dont want to believe this is real
