Struggling with it

I think it won't be long now for my Dad. He has pancreatic Cancer. The doctor is coming out this morning to assess him and the drug pack has been ordered just in case, can't remember what they called it. He has gone down hill so quickly. It's killing me to watch him. His breathing is awful, he can't get up anymore as he gets out of breath. He went through a stage of not sleeping and now he sleeps most of the time.  He was prescribed sleeping pills to help with any other pain and nerves as he just can't get comfortable  At the moment when he is awake he's not really there, stares into space most of the time, and he's struggling to talk and swallow. I just don't know how I'm going to cope, and my poor mum. I'm so scared for her, 58 years they have been together. She doesn't want him to go, but she can't bare him like this either. Every day he says, I might feel a bit better tomorrow.  I feel so sick.
