Hi all,
my dad has be diagnosed with lung cancer on Friday and was taken into hospital a few days later as he was very weak, short of breath and really disoriented. He has got a bit better now and they are keeping him in for a few days.
we have an appointment on monday(2 days away) and they will give us the plan about treatment but they have warned us that it might be too late for treatment. He was very upset tonight as he is a bit more with it and didn’t remember the diagnosis on Friday and we had to tell him all over again.
so hard to see the man who is your rock and is your everything as a daddy’s girl while growing up crying in your arms about needing to look after my Mam and how he didn’t want to be a burden...
any advise would be much appericated. My mam is nearly 80(she had a toy boy for a husband) and very forgetful so we are trying to support both parents. I don’t live in Ireland and need to travel and look after my own 2 kids and hold down my job. I need to arrange things but don’t know where to start.
