My dad has been given 6 months to live through only been diagnosed with bowel cancer last few months we thought he was ill through having a massive stroke 2 half years ago and heart problems he has got a lot wrong with him to be honest I am amazed he's lasted this long he's nearly 80 but he's a fighter but last few months he's given up the fight my poor mum cares at home for him she's shattered and needs a break as they don't have carers in just doctors and a marie curie nurse every fortnight he is going into hospital tomorrow for a biopsy and a Stent put in his end passage to relive pain but I really don't think he's fit enough to be honest he's so frail now it's heart breaking seeing him like that I think if he went in his sleep it wouldn't be such a bad thing people might think am being cruel but am not he has no quality of life left now as I don't want him to suffer and it's only going to get worse and I don't think my poor wee mammy can take any more she ain't getting any younger either.
