My Dad has recently come home from a ten day respite in a hospice. It was really important for him that he came home. He was treated for bowel cancer back in 2019, but could not complete the chemo due to toxicity. Since June, this year, my Dad has been getting more poorly and eating less. The consultant believes that the cancer has come back and currently in his stomach lining which is why he has had so many problems eating and processing food now. I think bother me and my Dad both thought we would have a few nicer times left at home but it’s been pretty awful, He’s only having a watered down cup of milk everyday, and I feel so helpless seeing him so ill and unable to ease his suffering.
I am so close to my Dad, to think of life without him is extremely difficult.
