Terminal lung cancer - chemo affecting brain?

Hi my father got one treatment of chemo and since then he hasn't been himself mentally is this normal? Thanks 

  • Hi thank you. I had emailed macmillan And the hospital they were calling me and we were getting something sorted but sadly my father passed away on Friday- macmillan did not help him at all. Once my head is straight I'm contacting everyone I can to out these disgusting unhelpful pathetic people.  I'm very bitter. I wish you all the best and thank you 

  • I am really sorry to hear that your lovely Dad has passed away - my thoughts are with you all. 

    I am also so sorry to hear you have all suffered from such a lack of support and understand completely why you feel bitter.  Give yourselves a little breathing space - you have been through so much - then I think you may be right to ask questions as to why help was not available when you needed it.  Although sadly it will not now benefit your dear Dad or yourselves, it may help improve the care of others faced with losing a loved one.

    Sending you a warm virtual hug and my sincere sympathy.  Much love to you and your family x

  • Thank you I'm sending hugs back to you enjoy your Christmas as much as possible - I got a photo book for my dad for Xmas unfortunately he wont see it but it's beautiful and we will always have it xxx

  • Thats lovely Nicole, and thank you for your kind words.  There is another young lady who has lost her Dad last week on the thread by joycejoyce - I think it is titled I Cant Cope (or something similar).  You may like to post each other as you will know so well how each other are feeling.  Much love x

    Its 'How Do you Cope'        xx

  • Hi Nicole, so sorry for your loss! I lost my father too on 1st Dec and it was a shock, still is, can't believe I will never see him again, we didn't expect him to be gone within 2 weeks of arriving at the hospital. I was not happy with the treatment we received at the hospital and feel a lot of bitterness to the cancer team there, I will be giving feedback once I am in a mental state to do so. I hope you can find some strength to get through this.

  • Hi Nicole89

    You can find the discussion started by joycejoyce that max56 has so helpfully directed you to here.

    Our condolences to you and your family at this sad time.

    Best wishes
