It was only six weeks ago that my dad was diagnosed with liver cancer that had been growing for six months; he was told it was not only inoperable, but also rare and aggressive. He was given the option to treat it and he agreed to this as he wanted quantity over quality. Four weeks ago he had a biopsy and was admitted into hospital two weeks later with an infection. He was in hospital for ten days and when he left he was regrettably informed that the cancer had spread covering his whole liver and spread to his lungs. In my eyes he has gone from having no symptoms of this wretched disease to displaying not only all of them but other worrying signs that indicate a closer proximity to end of life. I don't know what I'm trying to achieve with this post... Maybe some semblance of understanding and acceptance as I'm just so shocked and devastated at how quickly this has progressed. Can someone who would have experienced something similar offer me some advice please? So far his illness has been so unpredictable and shocking I can't help but fear he has only days left.
