Hi All
My mum and dad got back from holiday yesterday and my dad went to the doctor for a cough and chest pain. They sent him straight to hospital and within 2 hours he was diagnosed with lung cancer which has spread to his Liver.
I'm broken. They have given him 12 months.
I have a 3 year old little girl who is absolutely besotted with him and I can't stop thinking about how I will ever tell her he isn't here anymore.
I haven't slept and can't stop crying. I feel like my world has ended and I don't want the future without him in it.
Please tell me this upset gets easier to deal with..
Just needed to vent this somewhere
I know what you mean...you can be in a busy room but still feel so alone.
I can't stop thinking about what the future will look like for us without him. I hope your mum has some treatment options.
That's good you've been signed off. Try and take care of yourself as well x
It's truly awful isn't it.
My dad is the same he's gone from completely normal, working and playing golf to can't hold a conversation and won't eat.
I'm sat doing a night feed and I just can't stop thinking about it..I wish someone could say there was a soliton... It's horrific
That must be horrible as you feel like it's a waiting game, don't you
They haven't yet..although my Dad is the type to not tell us everything. We're lucky he even told us about the diagnoses but he's really scared.
He said he might be able to have some chemo but he doesn't know yet whether he will accept it.
I'm going to the doctors today to try and get something to help me :(
