How are you supposed to be when your told someone you love is going to die and there is notthing the doctors can do about it?
we were told yesterday that the cancer is too advanced and that there is nothing more the doctors can do. They have withdrawn all medication and fluids apart from his pain relief, so now its just a waiting game.
The Doctor told us that the cancer was so aggressive that chemo didn't work and my dad had a cancer that would not have responsed to radiotherpy.
I feel so...

Well in four weeks, i have been told i have bladder cancer, went through TURBT op and am now recovering at home. Waiting for histology and treatment plan as are many people on this site so I know I am not alone.. I have had quite a positive attitude to my news most of the time but of course have had a few "wobbles" now and then. I was taken aback when my consultant told me this could return again and again, was not prepared for that, hence I did not ask him questions about my op., which i now have...
Just ignore this post. Just needed to get this out of my system.
My sister came round on Wednesday evening and said that some of the people who we used to do Ten Pin bowling with have been asking after how David is, and suggested that he come up to the bowling alley to say hello.
The league we bowled in start at 10pm at night, we have 3 young children who at the latest stay up till 9pm (except on new years eve). I would have to take them and David. Also David's walking is not very good, and he really...
David is on 3mg, his headache is hardly noticeable (he tells me). He can manage the toilet on his own. His appetite is good too.
To be honest, if you saw him you proberbly wouldn't think anything was wrong with him, until he gets up and has a little wobble to the toilet.
He does get problems with short term memory and word recall, but his speech isn't slurrey.
Well, I know my cancer is fast growing, but this week has been like going down a steep slide, I have got breathless so fast. No word from the hospital, but I shall chase them next week as things have gone so quickly here. Last Saturday I walked round the show at Newbury, but this Friday it is as much as I can do to get up and go to the loo without having to recover afterwards. My chest has been so tight, and I have had pains in lots of different places, I just feel cold, and tired all the time. Any...
