On the 4th October my Dad was diagnosed with lymphoma in his neck. He was admitted that day to hospital as although he had a lump for 2yrs undiagnosed, it had started to become very painful & enlarged. He felt like his chest was rattling & swallowing & breathing weren't easy.
He had a CT scan, blood tests, x-ray, heart echo & after saying it was isolated to his neck& confirming with a specialist that his heart was strong enough for Chemo they started treatment.
He was 70yrs old & had a torn aorta.
A week later he was sent home despite my concerns he was confused & acting out of character.
6 days later I broke into his house & found him dead on his bedroom floor.
I'm finding it so hard to come to terms with. I feel like I was robbed of my Dad. Nobody at the hospital or social services would listen to my concerns that he was acting confused & I said he shouldn't go home on his own.
The coroner said that the cancer HAD spread to his heart.
I believe he fell & Then his heart stopped working.
I keep replaying his room & where he was lying in my my mind like a crime scene.
I miss him so much. I know that no one will ever love me like he did. =(
The world isn't the same without him.
