Good afternoon everyone,

Thank you for allowing me to join this forum as I feel completely overwhelmed, shocked and in denial. 

My dad has just been diagnosed with liver cancer and only has 2 months left to live. It’s been very sudden. A month ago he was fine. 

any support would be appreciated 

  • Hi  and a very warm welcome to the online community which I hope you'll find is both an informative and supportive place to be.

    I’m Anne, one of the Community Champions here on the Online Community, and although I've had different cancer diagnoses to your dad I know how upsetting it is to find out that a loved one has cancer.

    The online community is divided into different support groups so I'm going to recommend that you join the supporting someone with incurable cancer group where you can discuss your emotions about the prospect of losing your dad, as well as practical issues about palliative care and end of life.

    To join, just click on the link I've created and, once you've joined, you can start a new post in the same way as you did here and join in with existing conversations by clicking on 'reply'.

    Sending virtual ((hugs))

  • Many thanks for your support and help. I appreciate any support as I feel so lost like my dad does. He actually apologised to me for causing me more pain and upset.
