i lost my dad last August to bowel cancer and I just can't seem to understand what happened. It all happened so quick. My dad had no symptoms and was a very healthy man. One day he had tummy ache and the doctor told him he was constipated. The day next he was in hosp having an emergency app to remove a bowel obstruction, which we then found out was cancer. He died 10 months later, 1.5 months after being told he was in remission. He woke up one morning and vomitted black blood and was rushed to hospital. He never come home again. It sounds bizare for me to say but I don't understand what killed him: what ended his life? It's been 7 months now and I still lay awake all night thinking about it. Do you think it's scary to die? Do you think he was scared? :(
