Hi I'm new to the site, im 26 years old and found out in July my father's throat cancer has returned and spread to his lungs he was admitted to hospital due to dehydration and stayed in for 6 weeks, when he came out 12 days later we went for his pre assessment to see if he could have chemotherapy they found his bloods stats were low so they placed him on fluids in the chemotherapy lounge where he went on to have a heart attacked not knowing what was going on a nurse admitted him again and we were rushed to a&e three weeks later he is back at home he has careers going into him daily, he sleeps a lot but he tries to fight it.
we were told that there is no treatment available.
I approached my HR department about possibly cutting my hours down by a few hours a day so I could spend more time with my dad while I can but the response was that the position I am in is full time and can't be changed.
as I'm only 26 I don't have savings to be able to stop working
im stuck in a really hard place at the moment I do all my dads hospital appointments, deal with all telephone conversations as he can not talk anymore.
I want to spend as much time with my dad and be there for him but I can't because of work.
what should I do?
