My father (age50) has been diagnosed with lung cancer thats travelled to the lymph nodes in his neck .. he haven't yet been given a stage as they need to do another test to see if the cancer has spread to the brain, (it's not in the bones that come back clear) he's had a lumber puncher done to see if he's fit enough to have the lung removed (on doctors say so)  my dad have lost so much weight, hes not eating, pain when he's coughing. He's got the Macmillan nurses coming out and getting a blue badge in place but He seems to think the worst and told my mum he aint going to be here for christmas. Do u think it's true what they say about knowing your own body.?

My dad is quite stern dont talk about death but he's told my mum what he wants for his funeral, In my 35 years of life Ive never seen my dad cry until 3 weeks ago When he got the diagnosis.

I understand it's scary for him and my mum as they are all they've ever known, (was together at 15, married at 18, and still loves each other madly) but seeing my parents break down in tears is killing me?

how do i support them?
