Hi,thank you for allowing me to join this community.
im feeling very numb and lost at the moment,my dad was told he had terminal cancer last week and only has months left to live. He was due for a operation on his bladder to remove some tumours which he waited for all day but was told that the surgeon had run out of time to do this and was sent home. Another op was booked but cancelled because of covid 19. From that to now being told that it’s terminal as he has some tumours in his lung, I’m so confused as a letter came in the post saying that chemo could play a role in prolonging his life but will have to wait for a oncology team to be in touch. Sorry for rambling away but I’m so confused and lost x
Hi and welcome to the Online Community, although I am sorry to see you finding us and so sorry to hear about your dad’s diagnosis - this must have been a big shock to you.
A terminal cancer diagnosis can bring a lot of stress, confusion and many questions but talking with people who are on the same journey can help a lot so can I highlight our very supportive Supporting someone with incurable cancer groups a benefit as you will connect with others supporting family through their cancer journey.
Posting in this group will open up your concerns to a wider group of people who know exactly what you are all dealing with at the moment.
Can I also highly recommend our various Macmillan Support Line Services - you can call them free on 0808 808 00 00 This service covers Emotional Support, Practical Information. Clinical Information, Financial Support and Work Guidance mostly open 8.00 to 8.00 but check the link but you may find the service very busy at the moment.
