Hi there, I wonder if anyone can help reassure me.
My 90 year old dad was recently diagnosed with cancer in the rectum. He's too old for surgery, he doesn't fancy radiotherapy as it comes with side effects and risks so we've agreed he should carry on as normal for now.
He lives alone, is disabled and lives a fairly independent life and is generally upbeat. He has no cancer symptoms at the moment so that we can be thankful for. Except in the last few days he is needing the toilet more frequently. I'm thinking this is a cause of the cancer and it scares me to think this could be the start of a decline!
Harder for me is that I can't find any info online specifically about very elderly people and inoperable cancer. I'm trying to take it day by day but not knowing what to expect in the future for him is hard! Thanks for listening!
