My dear dad was diagnosed with kidney cancer which has spread to the lungs and is involving the vena cava. I just feel shocked and struggling to process everything. The key worker said that he needs an urgent MRI scan before Wednesday but they gave him Friday appointment. Find it hard to understand why they say one thing and do another. We have no plan of treatment and I'm panicking because I'm not sure how long he will live and if I need to take time off work to help or do anything. I feel scared I will miss anything if I'm not there. My mum said to me today she is crying inside but trying to act normal outside. He is not sleeping at night well due to discomfort and sits on the side of the bed with his head in his hands my mum said. It's quite distressing for them both. He is also very sleepy in the day. Any advice anyone can give on how to cope with all this would be well received. Thank you for listening.
