Dad’s decline from prostate cancer

Gosh, I am thinking of you. I thought I was struggling dealing with my mum’s last few months with colon cancer. I think you need more help. To care for someone with that constant ache inside is hard enough for one parent, never mind two. X

Thank you Judith, it has been a rough old time. Dad is still in hospital but is feeling a little better which means mum is feeling better. My mum has some family support which I am encouraging her to carry on with and I have sought some independent help. We just take things one day at a time and don’t try to do too much. If I can get my sleep levels up it all feels more bearable so am working on that first and foremost. 

Sorry to hear about your situation sending hugs to you... I'm the same with my dad... its so heartbreaking to watch.. all I'm.doing with My dad is just carrying on as normal.. even thou I'm heartbroken.inside.. all I can sujest is let you mam know your always around for her anytime she wants to talk or needs a hug.. sorry I can't give more than that xx

Thank you Kellymarie83, my father has been moved into a hospice for a few weeks with a view to managing his pain and getting him home for a bit again. Poor mum is finding it hard but yes you are right hugs and keeping talking about things is the best way forward. I’m sorry to hear about your dad. It’s the balance between maintaining the brave face whilst dealing with all the emotion that is hard isn’t it. We just keep putting one foot in front of the other. Take care and I hope your Christmas is as good as can be x

I totally agree with you thankyou all we can do is be strong no matter how hard it gets or how hard its going to get x
