Welcome to Cancer Chat Christine although I'm so sorry to hear your dad may only have weeks to live.

Hey, I’m so sorry to hear your sad news. My dad died in December, we were also expecting it given the awful prognosis and I know that feeling of absolute despair you are feeling. I was a mess when we got the news of his cancer and knowing we had such little time, but I got up one day and decided I was going to be strong for my dad and was going to make his last few months worth while living. Even if it’s giving him something to look forward to tomorrow rather than next week, and even if it’s watching something on the tv. I changed my mindset and although I cried behind closed doors, I knew I had to do it. Now he’s gone, I have zero regrets about the time I spent with him.
