Hi

I just wanted to vent some frustration about cancer. It has taken my incredible dad and just destroyed his body. He was a perfectly healthy man in October last year and in Nov he fell ill. It turned out to be cancer. After both a physical and mental battle unfortunatelyhe was diagnosed with terminal cancer in Feb and doesnt have long to live. Its just completly heartbreaking

    Hi

    Took me ages to reply. Unfortunately my dad passed away last week so its been a very tough time for us all.

    My dad had kidney cancer that had spread to his brain

    My heart goes out to you.  There are no words to describe how Cancer destroys the body and spirit , watching a loved one struggle this torturous fight is the hardest thing ever. 

    My partner was diagnosed November 2016 and died May 2017.

    Being there for your father is all you can do, being with a loved one in their final weeks or days is such a massive thing to do....its very very hard but I felt privileged to be part of my partners end of life journey and to be there at the very end.  To know he felt my love around him and hear me speak about my love for him over and over again gave me some small comfort.

    Please stay strong as best you can and be kind to yourself x
