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 Worried

  • Aw I'm so so sorry to hear this. Its absolutely devastating.

    I hope she can fight the chest infection and she's well enough for the biopsy. Try and take every day as it comes and don't think too far ahead. Easier said than done..

    My dad is flying back to Scotland for a few days on Wednesday as his last trip 'home'. I am scared he will catch an infection too Sleepy xx

  • I just can’t believe all this is happening. I’m really not coping today.

  • How are you doing? There are good days and bad ones and you’ll get through them both. Don’t listen to prognosis - there have been so many times when people are given 12 months and go on to live 10 years. just take baby steps
