Hi ElaineYahoo welcome to the forum though I am so very sorry to hear about the death of your dad. Sometimes things happen very quickly I got 5 weeks with my dad from diagnosis to death and my dad's was a different type of Cancer. Cancer is so cruel and it's effects at later stages can take your breath away. If you felt you wanted to chat with someone about how you are feeling you can always give the Macmillan Line a call and have a chat with the Advisors there. 08088080000.
