New - Dad has terminal cancer

My dad has just been diagnosed with terminal lung cancer which has spread to the brain. We've been told treatment will be radiation therapy to extend his life which doesn't start for a few weeks. I live with him and will be taking care of him. I want to know if anyone has any tips for preparing and supporting him and coping personally?

  • Hi there aimee ..

    So sorry your going through this heartbraking time... and I know you must feel a tad confused at the moment .. if I were you I'd go on Marie Currie home page... and give them a call and tell them what's happening .. they are there for people with terminal diagnosis and their families.... there's lots of info there .. there's McMillan too .. give them both a call, take all the help they can give you.. 

    And hopefully others will pop by soon with more help then I can give ... sending you a vertual squeeze .. hold on ... there is help out there ... Chrissie xx
