My father has just been diagnosed with lung cancer and mediastinal and right Hilar lymphadenopathy. It was only by chance it was found( he had fallen and was scanned) He has severe COPD and heart failure so any treatments are not an option, it will be symptom management and eventually palliative care. I just don’t know what to do!! I’m confused, angry, devastated. Want to be with parents but cannot afford time off.
Thank you for your reply. I work in healthcare so am quite practical but this has floored me. I have a good support network so am lucky. You are so brave
