Lost my Dad

Hello everyone. Im Rachel and I was guided in this direction because my father died 6 weeks ago. We were told it was cirrhosis of the liver and if he made some lifestyle choices he'd be ok. After looking after him for 8 months he just got progressively worse, living with ascites and fluid on the lungs etc. He was in and out of hospital but the last time he went in he had an infection. A week later we were told he had cancer in the liver, chest and adrenals and within five days he was dead. My boyfriend's Dad only died 8 months ago due to cancer also. This last year has been so tough.

  • Hi Rachel 

    so sorry to hear that. I lost my dad 4 days a go to cancer of the pancreas/liver. He was only diagnosed 3 weeks ago and only felt ill for 7 weeks and the Doctorow said it was flu. I can't believe it at the moment, it happened so quickly. He didn't accept it and wouldn't have pain relief and it broke my heart. Sending you love xx

  • Hi Patricia, I lost my dad last Thursday early hours, pancreatic cancer, it was the worst thing ever to see someone skeletonise to nothing with this terrible disease. I'm devastated. I take comfort from spending last 3 months with him, every day. He was diagnosed with diabetes, but that was a huge shock, I think it was the cancer. It was inoperable when they found it, attached to main vessel, he had chemo, drs told him he had 9 months with treatment in November 15, he died 1st September 16. My heart is truly broken xx
