Hi all, my Dad (77 yrs), is dying from neuroendocrine cancer which has spread to his liver and bowel. He also has vascular dementia. He only has a matter of weeks to live and most days are spent in his hospital bed, too weak to get up but still able to talk and swallow. The dementia has masked much of the anxiety with the cancer but the other day he told me he was worried about dying. Omg!! What do I say. I told him that he need not worry and that the nurses would make him comfortable and pain free.  Should I have said anything else? I'm so torn up inside, I can't stand the thought of him distressed. I am an only child so have no sibblings to help. I'm supporting both my mum and my dad as best I can. The NHS are wonderful and we have a lot of outside help.  I have a husband and three children so I try to be strong and not get too upset but inside my stomachs churning and I feel panicky. Is there anything else I can say to him?
