Everyday worries

1 minute read time.

I am starting to think I may be looking for places that the cancer has spread to with dad.  I was with him yesterday and he looked awful, which makes me worry more.  He had a CT scan in May which they the tumour had spread to his stomach and his lymph nodes, my brain worries about where it has spread to in this time since May.  He was trying to tell us something yesterday and me or mum couldnt figure out what he was trying to tell us, this is happening a lot which make me think it may have spread to his brain he also is having pains in his leg which makes me think it might be in his bones.  They scheduled a bone scan which was later cancelled when we was told there was nothing they could do for him.  I just cant stop thinking about all this, I worry constantly about when the 'end' comes.  Mum said to me the other day that she thinks he wont go till after Christmas and I could not give her a honest answer because I just dont know.  I fear my mum is starting to go into a bit of a denial phase with it all which worries me because I dont want her to get her hopes I am just stuck in a really hard position here.  I just feel tortured.

    Hello Terri, have you not spoken to your

    dads doctor, thy cant say nothing more can be done without giving you any

    information about support, has your dad

    not got a macmillan nurse to answer any

    questions your mum and yourself need

    answered.Your dads condition does,nts

    seem very good, so its not fair that you

    have been left up in the air like this.Get

    in touch with the hospital he was being

    seen at, thy should be able to help you.

    People deal with things in different ways

    when thy are faced with bad news, it seems your mum is coping by being in

    deniel, if that is getting her threw this sad

    time then i think it might be wise to let her

    deal with this in her own way. I really hope you get some answers and support

    very soon. Please let me know how you get on, you can pm or email me anytime.

     Best Regards Lucy Lee.  xxx
