Hello,

My dads just been told that the cancer from the lungs has spread to the brain. Does anyone have any experiences, what to expect, just any advice? 

  • Hi Louise274933 welcome to the forum. I am so sorry to hear what has happened and how obviously worried that you are. 

    Have any of the Doctors spoken with your Dad and explained this all to him yet?  HOW is he coping with the news? Can you go with him to any appointments, as then you will be up to date with any plans and any discussions with your Dad?

  • Hello, 

    Since this post, we have found out next steps for now and my dad is a lot more settled. He is 67 and being confused doesn't help when he is told all the information but he will be transferred to a hospice to help with care for his mobility etc but they haven't ruled out stopping treatment etc so I'm hoping that's good news

  • My husband is in the same situation - so far we are 18 months on from finding 2 tumours - he has had radio surgery and is doing ok - if you want to talk further happy to chat over the phone 

  • Hello Freedom,

    Sadly my dad passed away 6 days ago, we are still processing the news as everything just happened and changed so quickly.

  • I am so sorry - will be thinking of you 

  • so sorry for your loss, Louise.

    Sending love and light and hugs

    Wee Me xx
