Lung & liver cancer

My dad recently died of lung & liver cancer.

He passed away after being diagnosed less than 2 weeks before. 

Anyone experienced something similar just seemed so quick.

  • Hi 1976. 
     

    Yes unfortunately. My dad was diagnosed with lung cancer spread to liver on 29 April 2020, he died 18 May 2020. I'm still trying to wrap my head around this. He was only 61.

    the pain is unbearable, I'm sorry you too are going through this. 

  • I just read this thread and so sorry for everyone's loss and loved ones pain and suffering to this vicious disease... this is one of the seldom posts that I just had to respond to cause I think what you're saying is so right... it is true we listen to so many adverts that until cancer is diagnosed close to home, you think people can live a long time with this god awful disease. But the reality for so many is that as you said we are still stuck in the dark ages with a cure!! When my Husband who was 44 when diagnosed was told he had lung and secondary's that it was incurable I didn't think we would loose him 7 months later at 45...it's heartbreaking and I like you guys am struggling to get through this... just glad we lived life to the full during our life together but feel robbed of out future... thinking of you all and maybe one day nobody will have to go through what we and our loved one have

  • We lost my husband a few weeks ago at age 44, my eldest daughter turns 13 today and has been robbed of her Dad,  my youngest was 9 last week. We have all had our futures with him stolen from us, it is so unfair and wrong...we watched a strong fit man waste quickly away to nothing, he fought for a year and was only diagnosed by accident,  no symptoms really and it was already in his liver, how can this evil thing have been getting away with this for centuries and noone can stop it? It's certainly time it was nipped in the bud! Should be more of a priority then sending people into space if you ask me!

  • Hi,

    I can't imagine the pain you are going through, my two children are the same ages as yours.

    Crazy how it takes hold so quickly.

    Take care.

  • Hi Plebbs

    so sorry to here what has happened to you. It was just 8 months ago when my husband passed away suddenly from unexpected lung cancer age only 54. It’s still hard to believe it’s happened to us, I have two lovely and amazing children 16 and 19 . We had 26 happy years together and married 19 years.  He to was really fit and health the only sign was a cough May last year then by the time they got around to discover it was cancer and 1 round of chemo it was too late he passed away 9th September.We are all still keeping strong and keep going carrying on with life. But finding these times very difficult as started to go back to work and getting out now I have gone backwards.  How are you doing ? Nice to talk to people that are going through similar situation

  • Hi, it's two months now and not getting easier for me yet, i think harder if anythjng. We went to see some friends yesterday for the first time since he went who have children the same age, we usually meet as two families.  was painful without Tom there. ..my 13 year old seemed to enjoy it but had massive meltdowns back home afterwards,  I think it was hurting her too. Dreading her going back to school and all her friends talking about their Dads etc..we haven't started any counseling yet but going to soon,  I find it painful seeing kids every where out on their bikes,  her Dad and her loved mountain biking together. There's so many reminders in the world that hurt so much, I've loved the lock down and not having visitors turning up when I don't feel like seeing anyone...how have you found it?

  • Hi

    i have sent a friends request thought it might be better to chat through this x
