What a shock! Wish there was something I could say to ease your pain. I am so sorry and send my thoughts and love to you and your family. This disease is so very hard to cope with x

Hi

Sorry about your loss.

WE had the same trouble with palliative care, in the end I phoned a paramedic. He didn't want to take mum in. Not getting anywhere I phoned GP who told me to pass the phone to the paramedic. she told him to take her in.

Some area's have better care , sad but true.

Hi there, I'm really sorry to see you lost your dad so quickly. That's really hard that he passed away when you popped home. I'm guessing it wasn't expected? The diagnosis, the shock and the loss of your dad are really hard to get over when they happen so close together. My dad was diagnosed with stage 4 cancer (believed to be lung) which had spread to the liver. He was given pain relief at the Macmillan appointment when he got his diagnosis. He then died suddenly 3 days later! I sat with him in the evening watching Strictly, came home and a couple of hours later I heard my mum outside screaming (they live next door) I went running over and my dad was collapsed and died in my arms. I gave him CPR but no luck, the ambulance crews tried for 30 mins but no luck. He suffered a fatal pulmonary embolism. I'm 5 1/2 months down the line and it's taken a long time to deal with the diagnosis of terminal cancer, him leaving us the way he did, no goodbye and that's without losing a man that was such a pivotal role in my life. All I can say is take it all minute by minute, day by day, be kind to yourself. I hope you have some more family around you for support at this time. Take care xxx
