My Dad was diagnosed last year and responded well to the first chemo round. He was recommended immunotherapy and was waiting for compensation to start after lockdiwn.
Unfortunately it has spread and has caused superior vena cava obstruction, which was treated with stent. He is suffering swelling and breathlessness still and had another scan today to see if the stent had moved or was blocked. Awaiting results. In the meantime, his immunotherapy has been delayed . Last night after an afternoon at the hospital where they tried unsuccessfully to take pretreatment bloods due to swelling, he collapsed at home. I was down from London to see both my parents for the night do was able to help but now I'm back in Londin. I feel so far away and my mum is really struggling.
It is heartbreaking to see him so ill. He spoke yesterday about where all of his financial stuff was in case he didn't make it to treatment I hope that they can get this sorted so that he is well enough to start immunotherapy. My mum.is in absolute bits.shecwint talk to a counsellor. I was looking for a support group for her. This might be it. If I can persuade her.
I'd appreciate any advice.
Thanks.
