My Dad has been diagnosed with primary stage 4 lung cancer with mets in his liver, kidneys, bones and lymphs. This all only came to light when he was admitted to hospital with sepsis 8 days ago. Heartbroken doesn't quite cover it. He has been battling heart disease since 2009.

He is now on three types of antibiotics, having been on two others prior to this. He is high up on the antibiotic ladder but no one knows if this infection is due to the cancer or the sepsis.

He is hardly eating or drinking as he cannot physically do so. Visiting hours are only 2pm - 8pm. Working full time, with two young children and a husand that works shifts, it is so consuming. 

I want to break him out and get him comfortable with us all either at home or in a hospice but the hospital want him to stay there to try and get a grip of the infection. Which to me feels pointless when his days with us are limited.

I feel so sad and angry all at the same time. :cry::angry::confused::shocked:

I just want my Dad back.
