my wonderful grandad was admitted to hospital a few weeks back after suffering with covid and pneumonia. He has been in and out of hospital since october with severe chest pain and kept getting discharged with doctors having no clue on what was wrong until last week. He has had pleural placques and asbestosis from exposure when he was 18 (he’s 86 now!!) so he has done extremely well to get this far but unfortunately ct scans have showed a growth in the lining over the past few months. I’m really struggling to come to terms with this and can’t stop getting upset (crying hysterically) he is not eligible for treatment as they say he is now too weak and the nurse has said he more than likely has months than years which is a huge shock. It has spread to nearby lymph nodes in his chest so we do not know the stage. Just wanted some advice on how to cope with having a grandparent become terminal so quickly straight after disgnosis and what to expect. I idolise him as he pretty much raised me and was more like a dad to me than a grandad. I have spent the last few days with him and he seems ok (still walking, eating etc) and does not require any care as of yet
