Hi.   My dad has had prostrate cancer for about 2 years.  It is advanced and has spread to his bones.  Just 2 weeks ago we managed to spend a week in South Wales, a family favourite.  It was a different week as my dad was in bed a lot of the time and when he did get up with his limited mobility it was tricky.  However we kept the 35 year old or so tradition going.  We got back on Saturday but then on Monday my dad lost all feeling in his legs knew to compressions on his spine. He went into hospital only to be told no more radiotherapy can be done as it is too close to previous treatment.  After a lot of change in the house, due to his loss of mobility he has come home this evening.  We were so glad to have him back.  Once settled he told us the devasting news that the docs say he only has weeks.  It is so hard to comprehend.  He is weary but he is still with it.  He is still my dad.  I just don't know what to do.  I need to be strong.  I am practical.  I know things need doing.  My mum was so upset and although we are very close I'm finding it difficult to talk about it with her.   I cannot imagine life without him.  I am 40 but I am still his little girl.  I am totally. Confused. What do I tell the kids???  What do I say to him????  I want to tell him I'm scared and I'm going to miss him and I'm worried so much about my mum but I don't want to worry him.   I'm a teacher and and I go back to work next week but I don't know if I can and I want to!!!!!  Oh I'm sorry.  My head is so mixed up!!!!
