My mum

Hi I’m also very new to this but I understand how your feeling with regards to distancing yourself and being scared. My dad was told in March his cancer can no longer be treated. He originally had it in his thyroid but it has now spread to both lungs and a lymph node in his neck. We don’t know how long he has left, he’s waiting to have a scan In June to see its progression so they can get a better idea. I’m terrified of watching him deteriorate and pass away, I don’t know what to expect or what to say to my dad. He’s struggling mentally with the news and I don’t know what to do to help him. 

Its a struggle for all at the moment.all we do is let mum decide on what she wants.6 years we have lived with this but in reality mum is the one who as lived with it.all i can say is be positive as thats what my mum as been all the way.me not so as i see the change but many words and decisions will come.i hope and pray for you and your family and your dad especially.please please please try and be positive for your dad.at least he will have you to talk to and not have to worry about this awful thing.

Thank you for your kind words, I’m trying to be a support to dad as best I can. Your mum sounds like a strong lady to stay positive through such a long battle.
