Dad with cancer

My Dad has cancer and has started to dramatically lose weight. He's around 6ft and weighs 7 stone but refuses to eat. I feel he's given up but don't know what I can do. He lives in London and I live in Norfolk so seeing him daily isn't an option. I have put care workers in place but this hasn't helped and his mcmillian nurse who visits once a week has just said they can only make him be as comfortable as possible. I guess my question is do I give up and start coming to terms with the inevitable or try to continue his fight for him. 

  • Welcome to Cancer Chat, Bradm, although I'm sorry to hear about the reason that brings you here.

    Hopefully, some of our members who have been in a similar situation with their loved ones with cancer will be along shortly to offer support and some advice but until then feel free to post as much as you need. We are here to listen.

    Best wishes to you and your dad,
