Welcome to the forum Caz although I'm so sorry to hear about your father in law.

With the speed at which everything is happening it must be extremely difficult to process what is happening right now so if it would help to talk things through with someone, our cancer nurses are available on 0808 800 4040, Monday - Friday between 9a.m - 5p.m. With their knowledge and insight they will do all they can to answer your questions and make this easier to understand.

Our members know just how tough it is to be in this situation Caz, so you are not alone, and hopefully you will receive some support and advice from the community soon.

I know there isn't much I can say that will make this any easier but I really do hope you can take some strength, and comfort, from knowing that we are here for you and are sending you all our strength and support at this very difficult time.

Kind regards,

Steph, Cancer Chat Moderator

Hello everyone, thank you for very kind message, but just to say, my lovely father in law passed away peacefully yesterday after being started on a syringe driver the day before. So shocked but at ease with the knowledge he was pain free and at peace. We are all now trying now to absorb this and all the information needed and support each other and our family as best as we can.
