My dad went to the hospital last Thursday and the consultant was a prat! He has said that dad is not having any scans and we wait for the cancer to spread. Thanks for that. He claims the scans are not necessary - yet it was the scans that identified it had spread in the first place- even saying that they were counter productive - how??

Is it wrong to shout at the person that you love most in the word when you know that they have a terminal illness and you keep being told to make the most of the time that you have with them?

His health had deteriorated so much with the weight loss, sickness, hair loss and lack of energy but he is terrified of being off them. He even rag the hospital on Thursday to see if he should carry on bless him. Do I tell him what I think and give him an alternative…
