Hello everyone,
My Dad has recently been diagnosed with lymphoma and there is no treatment available due to his age. He is home and is rapidly deteriorating. I don't know how to process it. It seems so unfair, so sudden, so sad and so unreal. I don't want him to suffer or to be scared but I can't believe he is dying. He has been the best of fathers and I can't imagine him not being here.
I don't really know why I'm posting this but just feel that maybe seeing it in black and white will make it sink in.
I'm sorry to hear that MKG. I'm older too and have both incurable Lymphoma and Leukemia following Bowel cancer a few years ago, I'm not receiving any treatment either but have accepted the situation, hopefully your father has too its a peaceful place to be. Just give him the time and love he gave you and make the most of it, I'm sure that will help him. Hopefully someone will say something to help you with it.
