Hello everyone
My dad was told he had a tumor before Christmas following a TURBT was told last week it’s untreatable and aggressive. Waiting for the oncologist appointment now.
Dads been messed about with cancellations from December when they knew he had a tumor it taken until last week to find out the results (kept cancelling the TURBT). Because of this prolonged wait his had Urosepsis twice now, two hospitalisations and thankfully was discharged a few days ago.
The hospital finally prescribed him something for the pain (Oramorph), but it’s not helping that much. Dads definitely deteriorating at a fast rate now, his mobility is effected, his energy, his pain, loose B/Ms and now vomiting. I obviously hate seeing my dad this way, he doesn’t really have the energy to advocate for himself, I’ve been doing it (gladly). I just don’t know what I can do or say.. probably no reason for this post to be honest.
I cried for three days solid when we found out last week, now I just feel almost between disbelief and numb, my head is in practical mode - going over and keeping company sorting things for him etc.
Thank you for letting me offload x
