my dad has got lung cancer and has weeks to live we only found out a month ago and we are struggling. My dad is not just my dad he is my mate and im watching him die i hate it i cry and cry i try to keep it in when im with him cause he dont like seeing us like it but its so hard people say we are lucky that  we have this time with him to tell him things but my dad doesnt want to hear it he knows i love him and he loves me so theres not much else to say he has now mentioned what he wants for his funeral which is upsetting but atleast we know what he wants but having to see him like this is terrible i just dont want him to  suffer anymore but i dont want to let him go

                   sorry to hear about your dad. i can understand what you are saying. i lost my mum 11 months ago to lung cancer. its not nice to see them suffer. but we always want them to be with us. if i can help in any way i will. you will find the strenth to get through this. i dont no where it comes from but trust me you will find it.

    Hello Claire, I've just read your post to Joanne, re finding the strength to cope with her Dad dying, and it has helped me enormously, thank you. I'm in a similar position, watching my very precious Dad fade away, but tonight, you've helped me, and I know both he and I will sleep tonight. Thank you again, god bless.
