Hi everyone
my dad got diagnosed in August with sclc with mets the doctor said he has months. Which is already hard enough to digest.
right now he has stopped eating and doesn’t really leave his bed much. I spoke to his gp who came to check on him. Listened to his chest and stuff. His oxygen is fine and lungs sound okayish? Yet he’s finding it hard to breath so how can he be okay but not be okay?
im just worried because he’s slowed down so much over the last couple of days and im worried he might be coming to the end? I’m sorry if this is too much to read but im doing most of this alone and I just don’t know where else to turn to
I’m new to all of this too but know just how churned up and alone you must feel . …really hope that some of the amazing people on here can reach out to you soon. My husband hasn’t been diagnosed yet but I’m dreading the future. Try to keep yourself well and keep occupied. My prayers are with both you and your dad.
