my dads PSA was over 10,000. two test ago he had his 1st rise, last test back down again to 171.3. last 2 days he's been very ill sickness pains all over. today little better stopped being sick now very tired feels terrible. im on my own with him should i take him to hospital im shitting myself he won't come out just like my mum never. plus scared he gets covid he will not survive help! will i be allowed to stay with him in hospital?. i don't know the rules now. i don't know what to do and flash backs to my mum are destroying me. dad was doing as good as could be 3 days ago then out of no where very sick.
Is your Dad having any treatment? If so contact the cancer centre where your Dad is having treatment and ask them. He needs a medical assessment for what is happening. If you cannot get in touch with the cancer centre then call 111 or your GP.
So sorry to read about what’s happening with your Dad. Is there a Maggie’s near you? They are wonderful at helping out. They will help you and your Dad. I don’t know much about your Dad as there isn’t anything I can see in your profile so can’t say anymore.
It might be worth contacting the specialist nurses at Macmillan too.
We’re all here to help as best we can too.

i hope so, im so scared this will be the time he won't come out. so similar to my poor mum. then i think im scared hows he feeling!. hope is all i have.
thanks.
Bless you there is never a good time to be ill but these times are so much worse with the C19 worry as well.
Sending hugs through the ether.
just waiting for a paramedic to show up. called doc this morning said she is sending one out so now waiting. simply both too scared to go to hospital, if he gets covid he will not survive. thanks for getting in touch means so much when it's just me and dad. i don't have people or friends to talk to about stuff. just me thinking the worse. i feel so sick, it's just sick with worry. my mum and dad done everything for me, a debt i can never repay. i don't know anything else never had a chance to move out so lived my whole life with mum and dad.
thanks for your time
