Last week, my mum and dad went to talk about the plan of attack of my dads chemotherapy and a little more news about the cancer. What we were told was the worst, they said that even if he does the chemo, the cancer will always come back since too many lymph nodes were affected and that his life expectancy is maximum 5 years, I didn't think we could get any more worse news but this was the outcome, saying that no matter how much chemo he does, the cancer will just turn from stage 3 to 4 and spread to other organs, he will eventually die and he will be fighting a battle for the next 5 years that I don't think I can bare to watch. My mum, sister and I are helpless, while facing other problems in life like depression and anxiety, we have to deal with this too.
He will have to put in a chest port and will do it for 6 - 12 months starting in January, he will be most likely undergoing chemotherapy all 2020. My mums a mess and she can't sleep at night, sometimes I watch her just staring at a wall for hours just thinking about all the bad possible outcomes, I don't know what to say to her, I try and be positive but deep down she knows we may lose him, I need advice on how to not only support my dad but my mum as well.
thanks for reading.
