Hello,
I've found this group as I was looking at how I can support my mum.
My dad was diagnosed with lung cancer in Feb. He's always been the fittest person, no medication, aged 77, run marathons, briskly walks the dog twice a day. So this diagnosis has been a shock and him being unwell is hard for him to deal with, and for my mum.
He had a month of chemo/radio. Had 1st immunotherapy. Did a big job at home, removing a staircase to the loft..then caught an infection and has been floored. Was in hospital for 5 days then home for 2 weeks. He's now back in hospital under a respiratory team trying to rid him of infection so he's well enough for a 2nd immunotherapy before the 12 week nhs cut off.
We've all realised we haven't taken this diagnosis seriously enough, we're seeing it for what it is now.
He's depressed about it all. My mum isn't coping well. It's hard to stay positive and focus on the silver linings.
I'm not sure what I'm asking. I wanted to share as a newbie. I want to support my Dad and Mum right now.
Thank you.
