Hi I’m on here looking for support , my dad had an endoscopy on Monday as he’s not eaten in over 3 weeks he’s lost 2 stone in weight and the results of the endoscopy showed a “sinister mass” that looks malignant and is bleeding ! We was told cancer ! He’s had 9 biopsy’s then spent 3 nights in hospital to get fluids in him , he then got discharged on Friday and has spend the last 2 nights with me , how ever I’m back at work on Monday I’m so scared to leave him he lives alone and is venerable , he’s been prescribed liquid food but is still being sick on having them he’s so weak and seems to be deteriorating each day it’s breaking my heart to see I’m so worried I don’t know what to do ? We are awaiting a MDT meeting next week but surely he can’t be left like this ? I’m so scared I don’t know what to do any help is welcome , would be be able to get carers while I’m at work?
