In Feb my Grandad was told he has cancer, over the course of a week we found out it is in his oesophagus and stomach lining and he had to have a procedure to stop an internal bleed which he had a 50/50 chance of surviving, which luckily he did! When he was by himself he was told he only has 5 months to live however we have since been told there is no rationale behind this as even though they know he has cancer, they know it has spread however they don't know at what stage it is at, or at least we haven't been told. He is really struggling with the mental side of this, he cant get out of his head the 5 months and seems to be waiting and at night time he really struggles to switch off. I am currently sat making a document for him to read with all the useful information on the cancer research website and I am going to get him a journal so he can get up in the night and write his thoughts down. He just worries as my Grandma gets up with him and he doesn't want to disturb her so I have told her to stay in bed :) I suppose I have come here firstly to ask for help in how to help support him but also so if he wants to ask any questions I have a log in and we can do this (he doesn't really use the internet)
Thanks in advance for any advice
From a worried Grand daughter
