My dad is coming home today because his cancer has spread so quickly and there is nothing they can do. Prognosis is a few weeks left...... I’m devastated and my mum is not really taking it all in and my brothers can help but they don’t live locally and still have their job and bills to pay.
how do I be the strong one ??? I’m ok for periods of time and then I fall to pieces, I know we will get support from district nurses but they won’t be there 24/7. I do take great comfort that he is dying in his own way or as he puts it I’m not dying of this I’m living with this. He doesn’t want a hospice or hospital he wants to go home to his garden and his dog and his wife. I’m thankful that he gets to do this.
the doctors and staff at Oswestry have been amazing and have told me the possible ways in which he will die one of them being a bleed out vomiting. Has anyone dealt with this because I know I will have to be calm but it sounds horrendous and also will my dad know and be in pain? The doctors said no and that it’s quick.
anyone give me advice ??
Thank you
