Same happened with my sister terminal bowel cancer spread to her liver nodes and other parts we're still trying to convince ourselves this is for real not just a bad dream 

How to cope...... Dunno really i'm trying to find that answer myself but what I can tell u is to spend all the time u can with ur dad every second is precious

If u need to talk i'm here

Hugs Sandy xx

Thankyou Sandy.b

I know what you mean about it all seeming like a really bad dream, I was like it myself when he was first diagnosed, kept thinking I was going to wake up & everything would be fine, I was just about coming to terms with the news when my mum passed away, & then with dealing with all that & now the news that my dad's cancer has spread it's like I'm back to the start again, luckily my dad only lives round the corner from me but worry about him so much on his own, it wasn't too bad before as he looked normal but now he has lost most of his hair ( always had such thick hair before) I hate seeing him without his hat on as it just makes it seem so real, my dad's side of the family isn't that big now as he lost his mum ( my nana) just over 2 years ago, he has one brother who isn't in the best of health himself, I have a sister too but she lives an hour away in another town, I have my husband & I have 4 young children between ages 4 to 10 & just mot sure how ill cope when he needs more caring for, I'm more than happy to care for him & as much as I try not to think of the time when this will come, I just can't help it, I'm 40 years old, my mum was 63 & my dad will be 70 this year, just feel it's too young to lose my parents & also for my parents to die, I try to see my dad as much as possible & do as much for him, difficult at times as he always been quite an independent man, in a way it's hard to spend time with him as it makes it all seem real if you get what I'm saying, this time last year I'd never of thought in my wildest dreams that this year would bring so much heart ache, just have to be strong for my dad & be there for him...
