Hi,

Sorry to read about your Dad's situation.

Has he been given a MacMillan nurse or referred to Maggies or a similar service? If not, you could ask your GP to make an urgent referral. If he has a MacMillan nurse, they would be best placed to advise what services are available in your local area and what options your Dad has for both palliative and end of life care. It may seem too early to start planning end of life care but unless you know what your Dad's preferences are at an early enough stage you might be overtaken by events and have to second guess what he would like.

Ideally a referral to MacMillan (or similar service) should have been done well before a decision was agreed with him to stop any treatment and his care handed over to a community-based service, but sometimes services aren't as joined up as they should be. 

Good luck

Dave
