Dads got terminal prostate cancer I'm struggling

hi 

You have shared so much with others on here in a similar situation and I am sure they have found that really helpful. I often find though as much as I might help someone else I somehow lack the skill to take my own advice.

Just thought I would drop a reply and thank you for what you say to others and just to say you are far from either selfish of useless, just someone going through a really hard time and like us all at times struggling to keep our heads above water.

<<hugs>>

Steve

Hugs back to u... some days are harder than others I think but we got to keep going xx

Hi Kellymarie83

I'm exactly in the same situation. Dad's in hospital though and we can't see him (Covid) but now he's stopped eating.

It's breaking my heart x

Big hugs to u don't suffer alone I'm always around... weather its here or private message me... I agree it is heartbreaking and so upsetting xxx

Hi kellymarie83,

I am in the exact same boat as yourself :-( My dad has recently been diagnosed with mestatic prostate cancer which has spread to multiple bone sites, kidney failure and has a bilateral nephrostomy. I know time isn't on his side either and totally understand what you say with regards to grieving before they have passed away. I have been doing the same for both myself and my kids :-(

I'm glad i found this thread as hoping to chat with others who are going through similar, as im struggling with it all tbh.

Take care

Suz

Hi, I'm so sorry to hear this. I'm struggling with the same. My dad is having Palliative care at home, he's bed bound and slowly fading before our eyes. I can't bear to watch, I can't bear to go down there to see him and my mum, I just want to hide away! I want it to be over but of course I don't want him to die, I want him to be well.

Then I feel guilty for not wanting to be there. I can't fix it and its just heartbreaking.  You are not alone, it feels like it sometimes I know, but you are not. Xx

So sorry to hear about your dad big hugs to u too... ur not alone anytime u need a chat I'm here weather its private message or on this thread... xxxx
