  • 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.

    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
