My dad has had kidney cancer for 6 years and has had chemo drug which has stabilised it. It then spread to his lung but it was tiny and never grew. Now out of nowhere he now has 7 tumours in his brain. I considered there isn’t a good outcome. We found out if he is selected for gamma knife treatment he only has one year with us, and if he isn’t, he has weeks. I don’t think anything can prepare me for either as I can’t accept I have limited time with my dad. I can’t accept he can’t see me walk down the aisle, be a grandfather or watch me pass my car practical test. But I also want to make the most of my time. Does anyone have any nice ways of dealing with this and even preparing for the end? Me and my family think practically but I do want to have nice ways that I can deal with all of this.
Hi inglabarca96
Sorry to hear about your dad, i know how both myself and my wife lost out dads was quite challenging.
One thing we found quite comforting was to spend time talking especially about how things were for them when they grew up. It was amazing to understand how life changed in a few years and how our childhoods were so different to theirs.
One of the things I have now hanging in our lounge is my parents wedding photo. To me that photo always said "home"
<<hugs>>
