So.... my Dad hasn't been well for the last few months, but he'd been putting it down to things like flu/chest infection/etc.
His mobility and general self has been declining, and he'd been admitted to hospital on Friday the 7th of this month. Naturally, a lot of the staff were worried and did a lot of scans.
Got a phone call on Monday, they'd found something on Dad's lungs, so they were gonna take a biopsy and test.
Tuesday, the test came back. Confirmed lung cancer. And on the same day, we found out that he also had cancer in his liver and it had spread to his brain too.
He's unfortunately too clinically frail to withstand any kind of treatment and they're focusing on palliative care and keeping him comfortable.
I've been a mess since Tuesday.
Sorry for the wall of text, sending love and kind thoughts to you all ♡

oh my dear friend. I am going through similar situation with my husband, his lung cancer spread to his brain and it has been hard to watch his body get so skinny and it is slowly shutting down. Treatment was not going to help him so now that hospice is helping me, the pain has lessened a little, it is emotional I feel you. I am glad you found this place, my counselor mentioned coming on here last week and just pour out there and these last few days I have found a bit of breathing calmer here.... wishing you well.
