Hi all I’m been here end this is my first post. My beautiful dad was sadly diagnosed with stage 4 renal cancer 4 weeks ago. It has spread from his kidneys to his liver and bones and in the last 2 weeks has deteriorated so quick. He can now no longer get out of the bed as can’t support his own weight, he can’t sit up as again he can’t hold his weight. He seems great in himself some days he is more tired than others he is eating okay. I’m just wondering if anyone has been through or are going through anything similar?  The hospital told me he had “months” to live and his palliative nurse told me only weeks. 
thank you for taking the time to read this x

  • Hi  I'm so  sorry to hear about your dad Hopefully someone will come along with more experience than me to say Hello. As the community champ for the group, I just wanted to " bump" up your post so it doesn't get buried.

    Do let us know how how dad's doing and maybe join the Family and friends group to get support for yourself too ?

    Fear of the unknown is the worst thing. Once we know what we're facing, we find the strength to deal with it.
