Worried about my father

My father was undergoing radiotherapy for prostate cancer, developed a cough lumps and in a lot of pain. He won’t allow us to attended appointments and hardly speaks about how his feeling. 
All he will say is don’t worry I’m just tired! Today the hospital rang and have stopped his radiotherapy and called him in today for immediate testing. 
again we don’t know y as he won’t say. Should we be worried that this may be the start of the end and prepare to make him comfortable?

  • Hi , how awful for you. You must be feeling really helpless. Your  dad is obviously not wanting to share his news possibly out of protective concern for you, or maybe he’s just taking it all n himself first. I feel that you should respect his wishes but let him know you are there to talk if he wishes . You can get support yourself / and or your dad from Maggie’s cancer centre or from any of the cancer charities helplines . X
