Awake and up all night

cant remember rose. was she before my time. i joined the group about 10 weeks ago.

Ah, probably. Rose had surgery, popped back to tell us how she was coping but hasn't posted for a while. Hopefully she's still recovering and taking things easy. Fingers crossed as she's lovely.

Well sweetie, have we to settle down as my phone is going a bit dolally? I'm starting to get a bit tired, believe it or not. Lol! xxx

night night sweetie sleep well.xxx

You too my lovely and sweet dreams ️ xxx

Hi so sorry that you seem to have joined us when the tech was playing up.

I appreciate how hard it must have been to put into words your experiences over the last few weeks,  only to appear to be ignored. The lovely people here really would never want you to feel overlooked or excluded. 

This little bit of the forum has chat from people who find themselves awake at silly o clock and you can talk or ask about absolutely anything. 

As has been mentioned, the forum is divided up into sections that deal with specific issues to help people find the sort of support they are looking for, so particular types of cancer or for particular situations such as being a family member or carer.

Community Champions are special people who know how the forum works and can point you more easily to things you may find helpful.

If you want to post right here, that is fine too. 

Glad you have reached out. Have you other family members helping to support Dad and make decisions?

Take care

HIya sweetie, this was SNL’s original post ……. Hi I’m completely out of my comfort Zone with this but just wanting help with what’s going on in my little fr at the moment with my dad who 8 weeks ago had his kidney removed due to cancer before the op the could see it had spread to his lung but we’re going to operate on. After his kidney op he was in hallamshire hospital for 4 weeks. His surgery went well they said but he caught pneumonia . They then scanned him again and said his cancer had spread further in his lung and in his hip bone. They said that there was nothing more they could do and sent him home. He has been home for about 4 weeks. In the first week he was very ill and the dr was called out. The dr advised he had weeks (2) left. My dad is very weak and sleeps a lot he has pain in his abdomen now and again. He’s still able to walk and get to the toilet. He’s not eating much but is still fully aware in his mind… 

I want my dad to be here with us as long as his life is meaningful and without pain… but I’m really struggling with the whole situation knowing what to do … can anyone give me some insight on how they have handled this

Love Debs

Morning Debs

Thanks for that hon, and you've put me in the loop now.

Oh poor Snl, that's a lot to cope with and I hope she's getting all the support possible right now for her dad  Sending her strength and love xxx

You've caught me in a hazy world of watching an early football match but trying to convince myself to make some inroads into moving off the sofa - always plenty to do.

How's things for you on this sunny Sunday - potting on perchance? Whatever you're up to I hope you're ok sweetheart.

Right, kettle on and I'll feed the birds while it boils.

Speak soon hon, hugs and love xxx

Morning my lovely, ive replied on our family thread. But yes cool and misty in west Wales this morning, so yes I've been out pottering in the garden.

Speak later sweetie xxx

Hi Snl

I'm sorry to hear about your Dad. All I can say is to spend as much time with him as possible.

Have you been offered any nursing help at home? It may be worth having a conversation with his GP about it.

Best wishes to you both.
