Hey, 

I just felt like I needed to reply to this post. I am so sorry to hear about your Dads most recent diagnosis. I felt sad and angry reading it, so I can't even imagine how you're feeling. 

I can't believe that the consultant he was under just discharged him like that, that's just disgusting. I can't believe he thought that just because, 14 months ago, your dads tumour was dormant, that he thought it would stay that way. You have every right to complain, as you said it is negligence and even if there isn't treatment or surgery for your dad, your dad was under that consultants care, wo should have still had the regular scans and check ups to see what is going on, and to maybe give things that could help ease symptoms of any new things arising. For your dad to get that diagnosis in the first place is bad enough, but to have a consultant completely dismiss him and treat him so badly is just unacceptable. You know all of this already, but I just wanted you to know that other people would be feeling as you are now, and people probably have felt that way, as I did with my Nan. My Nans oncologist just said my Nan had breast cancer. It wasn't until she died that we found out he had had scans done on her while we weren't there, she wasn't able to tell us as she seemed confused a lot, and he had known for weeks that the cancer had spread to her lungs, brain, bowel, throat, skin and bones. He persisted that she must get out of bed and so many more things, that we urged her to do because we didn't know the cancer had spread. I know what it's like to feel so let down and angry by a consultant, I just want you to know that you're not alone in thinking that way. We ended up prosecuting the hospital, for the simple fact that we didn't want any one else to go through what my Nan did, and so that hopefully it wouldn't happen again. So do whatever you feel is right. 

Lots of love to you, your dad and the rest of your family.
