My Dad fell ill around October last year. After several months going to and from his GP and the hospital with no one seemingly able to give him a diagnosis, he finally got a CT Scan on 28th March. By 29th March he was admitted to hospital after a couple of weeks of being unable to eat properly. After further tests we finally got feedback from his consultant. Stage 4 lung cancer which has spread through his chest cavity, his kidneys and his spine. The only treatment on offer is palliative care. We are devastated. Dad is still in a respiratory ward at the moment. The consultant said that someone would be in touch regarding palliative care but we don't really know what that means yet? Any assistance on what to expect next would be most welcome x Thank you in advance x

  • I would call the helpline number here. The nurses that I have spoken to have been extraordinary. Nothing is rushed. They literally spend hours explaining things to you. Please give them a call.

    I am so very sorry with what you are having to try and bear xx
