Hi,
My dad was diagnosed almost a year ago with stage 4 oesophageal cancer that spread to his lymph nodes and liver. They said there is no hope but if he did chemo it could maybe help prolong his life. It has been quite a journey of being on chemo and recently we found out that it has spread and is basically covering his liver, has a new tumor on his lymth nodes and has also gone to his lungs. The doctors have now said they can’t offer him anymore treatment as it’s clearly not working. I feel in my gut the end is near but I was wondering if anyone has been through the same situation with a family member and what their prognosis was without any treatment? What do I need to look out for? How will I know when he’s dying? I’m absolutely heartbroken and reality is really setting in. I recently just had a baby and finding it so difficult to deal with the fact my dad is dying and trying to be the best mum I can possibly be. I never thought I’d write on a chat room like this but I feel I have questions and need some support. Thank you in advance X
