Hi everyone,
Just checking in here because my much beloved father-in-law has been diagnosed with lung cancer and we are just waiting for his consultant chat today to get more info. I’m feeling very worried about it all as we only lost my mother-in-law to cancer a year ago and am anxious that he won’t make it. He is 83 and they suspect it may also be in his liver.
So I am hoping this community can give me a sense of support and understanding of how best to assist him on this journey, whatever it ends up being!
thanks for listening and wishing you all a good day
