Hi everyone,
my Dad has been in the final stages of terminal lung cancer for several months. There have been several “touch and go” moments but he’s pulled through.
over the last few days things seem to have changed…he’s not able to get out of bed anymore and just seems so much weaker in himself.
is this the end? I’ve no idea what to expect at the end. Every time my mum calls me I think she’s phoning to tell me he’s gone
lots of love to everyone x
Hi
I hope you are doing ok.
I can’t offer any advice, but I just want you to know I feel for you. My dad has terminal lung cancer. Diagnosed 2 weeks ago. I don’t know how quickly he will decline or what it will look like. Everything I’ve been told includes things like sleeping a lot more, shallower, slower breathing, perhaps in and out of consciousness. I just don’t know.
have you got support from the doctors/hospice?
have you spoken to a nurse on the Macmillan web chat? I always find them so helpful and kind.
sending you lots of love ️
