My dad was diagnosed with oesophageal cancer in July, unfortunately it had already spread to his liver. He has had chemo since august but recently needed to be admitted due to a PE and chest infection. He can’t eat despite having a stent, not due to nausea but he just has no appetite. And seeing him get so thin is scaring me so much. He is only 60, his own father died at the same age and he lost his brother earlier this year. He seems to never see any positives. I’m a nurse myself and he will often ring me as first point of call and I try to reassure but know what it all means in the back of my mind. Anyway, I’m rambling. What I’m trying to say is I don’t even know how you’re supposed to cope with this, how do you navigate this knowledge that you’ll see them go. I’m struggling so much and trying to push it all down. I can’t believe this is even happening. Does anyone have good ways at coping or looking at things?
