Hello Lemington64, and welcome to 'The Club' that no-one ever wants to join.  I am going to be totally honest with you.......it does sound like your dear Dad is in the final stages of his life.  Please forgive me if my honesty has upset you but I think that honesty is what you want isn't it?  I could lie to you and tell you that your Dad has a good chance of surviving this monstrous illness, but your Dad's GP has practically told you  (in so many words) that there is no hope for your Dad in battling the cancer. . I am so, so sorry for you, because I lost my Mum to cancer, so I DO know exactly how you are feeling.  The pain, the hopelessness, the despair.  Once again, please forgive me if I have been TOO honest with you, but I do not believe in sugar-coating.........you want the truth and you NEED the truth.  Take care, and remember to tell your Dad how much you love him and how you treasure all the good memories that you have shared together........we can not say these things once our loved one has left this life. My thoughts and prayers are with you.   xx
