My dad 69 was diagnosed before Christmas after a losing a lot of weight .He's currently weighing 6 and half stone after 8 weeks in hospital currently got a keg feeding tube in.
He's unable to eat anything other than ice cream and juice.
We have meeting this week to see if he's strong enough for treatment.
Anyone else in the same situation I'm worried sick.

Hi, I’m so sorry to hear about your dad. I’m not in the same position as yourself, But we are awaiting a few more tests to see what options we have.
It is all such a worry. Try not to google anything as that always brings up the worst possible outcome. Many people can get over this awful disease or live with it for a very long time. Just try and stay positive which I know will be extremely hard.
Keeping my fingers crossed for you that your dad is strong enough for treatment.
Best wishes
