Hi all
just found this site. My dad well step dad has been diagnosed with cancer of the oesophageal which has spread to the lungs and liver. He had 3 courses of chemo which haven’t worked and the cancer has grown. Today he finally admitted he needs 24 hour care. Where do I go? Who can I contact. His local hospice can’t help him till Monday and I have to go home tomorrow over 230 miles away.
I just don’t know what to do for the best for him. I guess we will have to wait till Monday but I’m worried about leaving him on his own.
