Hi Karenkin, 

I'm so sorry to hear about your dad. Last month my dad passed away from bowel cancer after a very short battle with it. My dad was admitted to hospital shortly after being diagnosed with it to have a stoma bag fitted, which made him far far more comfortable. However, he always loved being at home with his family, so he wanted to come home as soon as he could and wanted to spend as much time at home as possible. Therefore, as a family we made sure he was always as comfortable as possible. 

One thing that I would recommend is getting your dad up and about - just walking around the house or garden will do him good. I understand this may be hard, as it was for my dad, but once my dad stopped moving as much, he began to get uncomfortable sores on his back. So to prevent this, short walks would be great. 

We also made sure there was a place to sleep downstairs (the sofa) for times when he couldn't face going up the stairs to bed. We had throws and cushions to make him more comfortable. 

Also, sometimes going to the loo may be difficult, so we made sure we had pee pots for him (you can get these from hospitals etc). This made it easier for him to go to the loo without having to climb the stairs to get there. 

I am here if you'd like to chat,
