My Dad is 71 and was diagnosed with small cell lung cancer early this year, he has had chemo and scan results were promising showing that the chemo had worked as well as we could have hoped. He was recently admitted to hospital after a scare with his vision and balance (he had a bad stroke 2 years ago) and we were devasted to learn there are now multiple lesions in his brain. He will complete 12 sessions of radiation to his brain this week and then starts another 12 to his chest next week. We have been advised this will only give Dad a little more time.There is only myself , mum and Dad as we lost my brother to suicide 9 years ago and mum and Dad live in Ireland. We are all finding it difficult with the distance and I feel torn between being here with my 3 children and being over there spending valuable time with my Dad. Just feel so hopeless.
