Hi there, new to the forum but would like to share my experiences.
My dad was diagnosed with stage 4 lung and liver cancer on the 1st June and sadly died on the 20th June . Was so sudden I think we were all in auto pilot and didn't realise what was happening at the time,
He originally went to hospital as had back pain, did lots of tests etc, ct scan, was then fast tracked to a lung specialist who gave the devastating news on the 1st June that he had lung cancer. we were told he would give treatment and may live up to 12 months. He was sent home as seemed quite healthy at the time, awaiting a biopsy. In the meantime he went downhill, although not in pain, said he was uncomfortable , we called out the go who gave him medication but that didn't help. He then had a biopsy and waited a week for the results, by that time he couldn't communicate with us, when we went for the results he was admitted on the Thursday as his calcium levels were abnormal , he then went rapidly downhill, caught a chest infection and passed away on the Monday.
We are all heartbroken, he was fit and healthy a week before he got ill, was 75 so slowing down a bit but showed no signs of been ill at all.
My question is, is this normal ? , his change in hospital was scary and lost so much body weight , not experienced this before at all.
i miss him so much, and life feels empty now, don't know how I can go on anymore.
Thank You
Paul
