My first blog about my dad Michael. For 6 months he has been serious pain. Stomach pain, nausea, extreme weight loss. 3 stone in 6 months. Monday the 15/01/2017 rushed back into hospital with seriously high potassium levels. Today my worse fears confirmed....cancer cells in his pancreas. An appointment with an oncologist and pancreas specialist tomorrow. All the symptoms over the past 6 months pointing to cancer.cancer that horrible word. Not just that but my mum also suffers with M.S and dementia and my dad was her full time carer. Life is too cruel to do this to my mum but to my dad aswel?!? What else can I do at the moment apart from cry.I'm engaged to be married and I'd like my dad to walk me down the aisle. Too many emotions to deal with at the moment.so confused and mixed up.....
