Hi all,
My dear father was diagnosed with SCLC in 2018 and later NSCLC a couple of years later. The diagnosis was terminal and he had palliative chemo and radiotherapy, which helped. Now the consultant has told us his cancer is growing fast... He has had a recent PET scan as it is possible the cancer has spread...
My father has deteriorated over the past 6 month and more drastically over the past 3 months. He sleeps all day, wakes for a couple of hours and then goes back to bed, hardly eats and drinks and when he is awake, he doesn't talk much- just staring into space. He has lost all interest in anything.... just says he is very tired. it's sad to see him so distant, frail and weak.
He has fought so much. Is this the start of the end? In everyones experience, is this what happens at the end? What can we expect? (Please be honest here as we need to prepare ourselves) How can we best support my father? Also my mother, who is dealing with this on a day to day basis? I feel helpless...
Any offers of advice would be really welcome. Thank you for taking the time to read this post.
