Unsure

Hello Muna27

Welcome to the Online Community. I am so sorry to see that your Dad has been diagnosed with lung cancer and that the Doctor's feel there are no suitable treatments for him. It is totally understandable that you are feeling lost. 

It is good that you have found the Lung cancer forum and it will help you to be able to connect with other who share the same type of cancer as your Dad. I am going to recommend another forum that you may want to consider joining. It is especially for people who are supporting someone whose cancer is incurable. I will pop a link below in case you want to have a look. It may help to connect with others in a similar situation.

Supporting someone with incurable cancer forum - Macmillan Online Community

Although the Doctor's have said that they feel there is no treatment option for Dad, he will still be offered support. I hope that you are getting support from his hospital team and also GP and feel able to talk to them and ask questions.

If you feel like talking to someone else would help, there is a Support Line number at the bottom of this and they would be able to talk you through what is likely to happen next or just listen if that would help. They would also be able to tell you of any support in your area that may help.

I hope this helps a bit, but if there is anything else you need or want to ask then please do so.

Hi Muna

I'm so sorry for your sad news. I do understand the feelings you are having. I lost my eldest brother in 2016. He had a few ailments over his later years, when he was hospitalised. He was coherent and resting and had always had a calm outlook. The doctor asked me to speak to him.

Doing so, the Dr advised me gently that my dear bro had cancer. This was the first I had known in my family to suffer with it. Other family members had sadly passed over the years, so it was a difficult time. My grown children were understanding and there for me e, for which I'm eternally grateful.

Please be strong Muna, it will take time to sink in, but you wouldn't want him to suffer. Make the most of the time you have and seek support from those who offer it.  Take care. You are not alone. X
