Hi Tanya,

I'm so sorry to hear this, do you know if your dad is comfortable and can hear you, is there anything that you can do to make him feel a bit more comfortable maybe take his mind of it.

Cancer is horrible as I am currently experiencing as my lovely Grandma has been given a terminal diagnosis and you feel completely numb, and don't know what to do, so I completely understand where you are coming from with regards to this, and its a bit of a shock isn't it. Bless you aswell you have such a lot going on. Try not to panic and I understand that's easier said than done, and all you can do is just be there for your Dad. Could you possibly talk to him and share some memories of good times you shared?

Hope

Thank you he alot more comfortable now he been given stronger painkillers and I think he is coming to terms with it all now as he is accepting docs and nurses help instead of fighting them..

He a lot happier now he can facetime his grandchildren and other family members. For me I think I'm getting there slowly glad I can talk to him everyday n I get regular updates from hospital now were befor I didnt..

Dad has spoke to me about having a nice big family holiday while he can still do that to make good memories for the grandchildren witch should be nice.. thank you

Tanya
