Hi

Im struggling so bad at the moment, it feels like a rug has been pulled right from beneath my feet and as if im in a parrallel universe.

My Auntie (dads sister) had a mass found inside her lung around september/october time a few weeks later my dad had a bad bout of plueresy and due to his copd it was really taking it out of him so they did some scans and found a mass in his lung he was hopeful due to my aunt having a mads also in the lung and telling him it wasnt anything to worry about just like hers. Within days of this but weeks after further tests had been done she finally got her results and it was found she had lung cancer whichbwas already too far along and had spread to her brain. My dad was worried but had to wait for the pleuresy to clear before any tests could be done.

When they were able to investigate it came back confirming lung cancer and were hopeful they could do some treatmemt but needed more information with a biopsy this had complications as his lung collapsed and spent a month in hospital recovering around the time he was due to be dischsrged they advised they could do nothing more with how fragile his lungs were this was a couple days before xmas

I found out on saturday my aunties fight had ended and she died peacefully in her sleep, my dad was devestated and detriorating himself and a sad time for us

Last night i was trying to reach my dad and eventually spoke with his friend who stops in on him daily due to me being 250 miles away and my dads wishes for me not to see him once he started to get bad his friend told me that he was found yesterday morning and had passed away all within 3 days of his sister

Im absolutely devastated and it all feels so much and too much all at once but also trying to be adult about it as im his only living relative and next of kin and feel i have a lot to do but also dont know where to start all at the same time as still waiting to hear from the police who were meant to of notified me and explained how or what happened yesterday when he was found but still havent made contact and if i hadnt had a weird feeling and contacted his friend i wouldnt of known even now as they were told not to contact me until they (the police) had notified me i just feel a mess 

  • I’m so sorry to read this. My dad passed in September and it’s only really just hitting me now and I am not ok. I just wanted to say don’t feel you have to be an adult. You’ve lost your dad and your Aunty in a very short space of time. You’re allowed to scream and cry and grieve and do whatever you need to, to get you through. I don’t really have any advice but wanted you to know you’re not alone.
