My dad was diagnosed with Glioblastoma, an aggressive stage 4 brain cancer, 8 weeks ago. We’ve been told we only have a few weeks left.
I can’t get my head around how fast it is. In August he was travelling Europe with his art show, seeing friends, staying active and being the best dad. My mum also has cancer and even though they’re separated he’s been her number 1 support. But now he’s the one dying, he’s unresponsive and I’m watching him fade away.
How are you meant to come to terms with this? The last few weeks have been hell, hospital visits, caring for him, taking him to the hospice… each day he deteriorates further and I don’t think I’ve managed to process it. I had my first panic attack last night, maybe it was starting to sink in?
How are you suppose to cope with something so sudden, so unexpected? any advice would be greatly appreciated.
