After 2+ years since his prostate cancer diagnosis, Today my Dad was told there is nothing more they can do and in line with his wishes he will be sent home from his recent stay in hospital to die , they have been brilliant putting all the care and equipment in place for this to happen, probably as early as tomo , hoping he can hang on long enough to get home. My thoughts are that he will prob hang on for this then pass away quite soon after. His quality of life is zero and he’s been amazingly strong . It’s heartbreaking as you all know but he’s been through enough . I will probably go again tomo or when he’s home but I’ve said my goodbyes so if I don’t see him again .... my mum will care for him with carers coming in .
Hi , sorry to hear about your dad but good to hear that you have had a chance to come to terms with his death. Can very much relate to your "he has been through enough" with my dads death way back in 2013 but just wanted you to know you had been heard. Glad your mum has the support of the carers in place.
<<hugs>>
