Hello!

Hi Claire sorry to hear about your dad … but you’re welcome to come chat to us on here anytime … would he let you speak to his cancer nurse ?they may help in other ways for his care if he doesn’t want treatment … they can offer him and you advice on palliative care etc .. there is a help line on the web page too for support and advice ….. its hard when a parent makes this decision and all you can do is ensure he has all the information before he chooses this option , it may well be he’s just scared of the idea of treatment …hope you can resolve this between you,  Elly x

Hi Elly. I think my dad has given up. My mum's death last year came shortly before his diagnosis, and he doesn't want to be here without my mum. I think your idea of contacting his nurse is a good one, just to see if there's any more information they can give me. I contacted the welfare benefits advisor on here earlier, and they were helpful. Thanks for your support. It's much appreciated. X

You’re welcome Claire , I’m sad for your dad ,it’s his choice of course  , but a proper chat with his nurse might help him and you come to terms with his decision …don’t forget that all the support is there for you too love..please let us know how you’re doing x
