My father's recently been diagnosed with terminal cancer and his health is deteriorating more rapidly that we could have ever imagined. His birthday is approaching and he's been attached to the bed for the past few days. What can I get him? It goes without saying between us that he wouldn't benefit from material things, and in a position similar to this I would have opted for an experience more than anything, but given his health this doesn't seem like a viable option. This is one of the thing that's recently been stressing me out and upsetting me.
Whatever cancer throws your way, we’re right there with you.
We’re here to provide physical, financial and emotional support.
