im So sorry your dad has been diagnosed with lung cancer, and also loosing your mum in 2014,
my mum has been diagnosed with LC, and she is receiving treatment, does your dad have a treatment plan?
my dad passed away 20 Years ago suddenly of a blood clot, I feel it’s so hard when your only parent left is now poorly, it is hard,
when you say your caring for your dad, does he need care 24/7? The reason I asked is I have spoke with councillors as im struggling emotionally, and they told me I need to find time for me on my own to do something I like , just to clear my mind , even if that’s going to the cinema/ or shopping / or the library / or seeing your friends for a chat/
for me I feel guilty in everything I do, because my mum can not go out and do lots of things (dreaded covid still about ) she is on 2 drugs immunotherapy and chemo/ so still have to be careful Of anyone who is poorly around her /. Not because she can’t physically get up as she is doing amazing for someone with this disease,
calling Macmillan and speaking to them might help, or speak to your doctors as it might help speaking to someone. About how you feel, as I kno on here you are limited in how u actually feel incase you upset anyone reading it. there’s lots of people on here who are alway happy to chat.
Thank you for your reply sorry to hear about your Mum too.
Dad currently undergoing chemotherapy next step Radiotherapy followed by immunotherapy.
I find it difficult to do something for myself like you say feel guilty and feel anxious when leave him. Dad can get out and as a family we try to do that as much as we can to create memories.
I have made an appointment with my GP.
We have a little cairn terrier Rosie so walk her every day.
Small things but getting there slowly.
I am/was extremely close with both parents to lose both to cancer is lot to face.
Like a lot of people i suspect I am a very good listener and good at giving advise but not so good on taking it.
I have had such low mood hard to face each day sometimes just did not want to communicate or talk.
I hope all goes well with your Mums treatment and would like to say thank you again for taking the time to reply.
