I have flown out to Queensland to care for my Dad who has terminal cancer. I'm scared as I'm soon to be on my own as my sister who flew out earlier has to return home. My Dad is desperately wanting to fly home and with the way he is at the moment I believe he could fly. He's is very ill but doesn't have any respiratory problems but has an oedema and stomach cancer. He probably has a month or two at the latest before the end. I'm desperately worried about coping, when I know at home he can get more care from the family, me and the medical care. I have four weeks left here and obviously I'm concerned about work and many other things. Basically I'm scared!! I need to get him home where there is more help available. He has no money and is due to be evicted from where we are living.
