My dad has had metastatic cancer for 5 years but has suddenly really declined in health. He was recently in hospital and has been diagnosed with brain mets. I found Christmas incredibly hard to see how much he’s slowed down and can’t do. He’s in his own little world most of the time and isn’t always clear when he speaks to you. Most sad of all his how much stength he’s lost in his legs. He’s really struggling to use stairs now. My heart is breaking and you can tell from his actions he’s preparing himself for death. I don’t know what to do for the best - my mum is struggling with it a lot, I have a full time job which requires a lot of thinking and problem solving and I go between wanting to take time off and for things to be normal. Does anyone have any ideas or thoughts on what to do
