My dad was diagnosed with incurable lung cancer with mets to rib, spine and liver on Tuesday after spending 4 days in hospital due to severe pain in his rib for weeks and weeks and being brushed off my GP's countless of times.
Most of this week he has been okay, he's been slightly active but he's been sleeping a lot and I've noticed he's very breathless after small activity which is scary considering before his diagnosis he never had such thing however he reassures me it's because of his pain taking his breath away, which even the doctors said it most likely the case.
I'm really struggling to see him in pain as I know it's the cancer which is doing it. He's on liquid morphine and codiene and they don't seem to do much as he is still very uncomfortable.
I've been prescribed diazepam for panic attacks as I'm getting them frequently throughout the day since my dads diagnosis but nothing will help the sadness I feel seeing him in pain. He was so positive this week but today he has almost crashed and is saying sad things now. I feel helpless
