Hi Will. I was so sad to read your post and understand to some degree what you and your family are going through because I have a terminal prognosis and a son and a daughter going through the same. I wish I could come out with some magic words of wisdom to help you but sadly we both know that isn't possible. Please do remember that doctors always give average time scales and many people live beyond this. I was told 2yrs ago that I would live 4-6 months but I am still here despite the disease spreading to my liver, brain and abdomen. Hopefully Dad will respond really well to chemo, many people do!
Will, please don't feel alone, keep talking to your family and get through this as a team - and always remember that there are many people here who understand what you are feeling so come to the forum whenever you need support. I have made some lovely friends here and I hope you will too.
Thank you so much for your supportive and kind words, I was just about to drop of to sleep and thought I would check the forum. I think I will sleep better after your message, it's a difficult and emotional time for us all but it is very true what you say about sticking together. I pray for my dad and I pray for all the dads, mums, sisters, brothers and all going through the same situation. God bless you all and thank you max,
Hi, Will, so sorry to read of your dad but as Max says these timescales arent set in stone. Try to talk to friends and family and us if you want to, (sometimes talking to people you don't know is quite helpful). I have many of my family lost to this awful disease and I now have it myself and, to be honest I have found it much harder being a carer. Try not to be negative about the future as new and better research is being done all the time. My best wishes to you, your family and especially your dad.
