Hi Everyone

My Dad was diagnosed with stage 4 Stomach cancer in early August 2017, it had spread to the liver and lungs (had not spread much but had still spread) but whilst it was inoperable he did have a long course of chemo which appeared to work in shrinking the stomach tumour and killing off what had grown in the liver initially.

Today, just weeks after recent positive scan results he was rushed in to hospital in pain and we found out that it has come back full force in the liver and he now has jaundice and just weeks to live.

I’m so close to my Dad, he is my hero and has been through so much these past six months. We spend so much time together, he’s my Dad but also one of my best friends. I can’t begin to imagine my life without him. I know I’ve been so lucky to have time to come to terms with his diagnosis but a part of me has held out hope for a miracle clinical trial or chemo drug. Now I feel so numb, either that or I can’t stop crying. If anyone out there has any advice on how to cope during this time I’d love to talk to you.

Thanks x
