SusieG, I can only offer my empathy and sympathy.

My dad has the same diagnosis, only discovered when he had brain scans after seizures in August last year.

Hopefully your dad can receive the same level of care that mine has to make him and is comfortable.  Unfortunately it seems that my dad is coming to the end of his fight, but don’t let that discourage you and your family from being by your dad’s side every step of the way.

You are more than welcome to have a chat, a vent, or even ask any questions, I’m no expert but I will try answer where I can.

Matt1901,

Thank you for your response, sorry for late reply. So glad to hear your dad has good care - we have access to lots of support too but dad managing at the moment so not ready for care just yet. Dad just had his 2nd round of chemo yesterday so if last time anything to go by he probably won’t feel too well in a couple of days. I’m just finding it hard to accept his diagnosis as apart from being really fatigued at times he’s not really got any symptoms (was a routine scan that highlighted his cancer), he’s a little forgetful but no seizures as yet, i suppose I’m just a bit worried how he’s gonna be later & I think he’s worried about that too.

So sorry to hear about your sister - did the chemo not have any effect on the cancer at all? We were told the chemo should shrink the cancer but as it is a very aggressive cancer it won’t cure it. Think dads  pinning his hopes on this, won’t know until they do a scan.  It’s such a strain when this is happening to a loved one, so glad you finding sites like this helping, it’s such a big relief to know you’re not on your own.

Hiya sorry its taken me so long to get back to you yes the treatment did help it did srink the growths on her lung but not on her brain she is still with us today and im amazed of how she is dealin with it all
