Hello there.
My dad has recently been told he has possible cancer of the stomach and lung and is incurable but without being able to do a biopsy because of the hospital and dads very weak as lost lots of weight, he cant have it done at the moment so cant stage it. We have also lost my mum a month ago due to heart problems so it's just me with my dad ( the daugher) and with this pandemic going on, I am looking after him and manage his symptoms but am so scared. Is there any advice anyone can give me to help me manage dads symptoms and any advice of nutrition as it's just a hard battle as his body rejects alot of food. He is down for palliative care too but not sure how long that will take. Any advice would be much appreciated. Thankyou.
