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

    Hi Joanne I just wanted to find out how you are getting on and how is your dad. My dad has now finished his radiotherapy and we now need to wait for a month before we see it it has helped. He has been doing okay, they are finally getting his pain under control which gives him a relief and can now even do some things.  Sometimes when i see him I need to remind myself that he is dying of cancer and then all the pain comes flooding back.  But I just wanted to check that your okay and hope your dad is okay...  Thinking of you...  Ger  xxx
