Hi, I am new to this page and wanted to talk about my dad,
Dad was diagnosed with stage 4 cancer of the oesophagus recently at the beginning of august which has spread to his lymph nodes, I am completely heartbroken and just don’t know what to do as there is no treatment for dad as his body is not fit enough for chemotherapy or radiation and surgery is out of the question.
I worry about mum when he is gone as she says she will lock herself away and won’t want to speak to anyone. I am not angry I’m devastated and have a fear of falling into a depression. Friends and family have told me to make my memories while dad is still with us and of course we will make that happen but I can’t imagine my dad not being with us anymore
