Hi. 

new to the site 

dad has mesothelioma and I feel so helpless. Think he’s end of life now and it’s heartbreaking to watch. Not sure how long he has left. I’m off sick from work to care for him. 

  • Hi @shd85 and welcome to our community though so sorry to hear about your dad. I am sure you know all about this cancer already but just in case there is a wealth of information on the https://www.mesothelioma.uk.com/ you might find helpful.

    My wife's cancer is very different and I have had times coping where I have been signed of sick. Fortunately we have a generous sick leave policy designed to be supportive so it was not too much of a problem. One thing I had to learn the hard way though was to remember to look after myself - I could not really help Janice as much as I might like if I was ill.
