Hi Denise, so sorry to read about your dad. His declaration is obviously very distressing for you. If I was in your position, I would certainly mention it to his doctor. They can then use this to help them decide what they can do to help support your dad. Your dad is obviously trying to protect you all, but the medical team may be able to offer him information and reassurance about what may happen when he gets more unwell. Have you thought of contacting Macmillan at all as they offer support to both family and patient and they may be a useful 'mediation' facility - to get over your side of things to your dad if you feel he isn't listening to you. Please post anytime to let us know how your dad is, and how you're coping too. Hugs to you, Jo xx

Thank you very much Jo My dad Is trying to protect us I know that, but I can't let him do something silly. I will contact his doctor tomo and hope that his doctor can try and talk to him about this . I would look after him he would be able to stay at home I know this is what he wants to stay at home. I am sure we would get Macmillan to help us. Dad is very independent looks after himself and keeps the house ok, he will not let me do much at the moment . I just hope and pray the doctor can tell him not to do anything silly I will worry so much not only seeing him going down hill but thinking he could do something silly. I will also contact Macmillan and ask for help trying to come to terms with the months or weeks ahead. Thank you very much again thank you
