Grandad with lung cancer.

My grandad was diagnosed. With stage 4 lung cancer Christmas eve. Which also happens to be my birthday. Horrible day. I'm struggling to see him. Wanting to see him. But not the way he is. He's giving in and I can't cope with it. I can't talk about it. I'm not the talking type. When people talk I just cry so walk away. He's had one lot of chemo. A very very mild dose and he didn't react well at all. His next lot is Monday yet he doesn't know if he wants it. I went to see him today. And I couldn't even bring myself to speak to him. He's not himself and all I want to do is make the most of the time we have. He doesn't want to know his prognosis but we all know jts not long. I just need a bit of advise on how to cope. Rambling like this isn't helping!!

  • Hi Emma = I am so sorry you feel so upset about poor old Grandad. Thats only natural and I know anyone in your position would feel the same. 

    He most likely feels very different from you and sees it all in a different way.  

    There are no answers = some times life makes us walk down dark ways. Stay close to your family and feel their support at this difficult time Emma please. 

    When my grandad fell ill with lung cancer - I made sure I had a little video of him talking to me and this has become helpful to everyone as you can hear his voice and he is talking about the family and his past.

    We will be thinking of you today - and the upset you feel

    All the best
