Weeks not months

Hi! My dads gp said today when I asked how long she thinks he's got left....was weeks not months, and if current thinking is not anemia then days not weeks.

Sure it is anemia, but harsh reality of weeks not months is really hard! I think it's the not knowing is the hardest....but then I imagine my Dad not here and know that will be harder ️

  • Welcome to the Cancer Chat community Victor although I'm sorry to hear about your dad.

    I can't begin to imagine how difficult this time must be for you and your family but I want you to know that we are here for you and sending all our strength and support your way.

    I'm sure some of our members will offer some comforting words and advice to you soon but if there's anything you'd like to discuss with our team of cancer nurses in relation to this, you can call them next week on 0808 800 4040 between 9a.m - 5p.m. They're very insightful and will do all that they can to help.

    Kind regards,

    Steph, Cancer Chat Moderator
