Metastatic breast cancer

Hi would love to chat to someone..

my dad has got mestatic breast cancer in his bones and smouldering myeloma after 5 years of managing it on desnomub he was taken off due to some bone irregularities in his jaw! he cannot has bisophonates because he has bad kidneys. he was taken to hosp as he has hypercalceamia due to them stopping meds! We had now been told theres nothing they can do and he is basically dying and we are breaking our hearts and i cant sleep and am crying all the time :(

  • Junie2 am so sorry to hear about your Dad, its such a terrible shock and heartbreaking  for you all to receive this news. Please know that you are not alone, you are being listened to, I found it very difficult when given this news about my close friend, it takes  time for it to sink in. Is there anyone in real life you can confide in? Everything is harder when you are not sleeping too, do anything you can to rest even if you cant sleep too much at the moment. Vent as much as you need here if it helps you xx

  • Hi there ...

    So so sorry, your going through this heartbraking time ... esp this time of year, makes it even more painfull ... but all I can say, is I lost my mum suddenly from a heart attack. . I had no time to say good bye... or tell her how amazing she'd been ... or how loved she was ... what I'd give for even just one hour ...you have what I never had ... don't think ahead ... make every day count ... say all what's in your heart ... leave nothing unsaid ... share tears .. hugs .. and admit your both scared ....you just holding his hand will mean more to him then you'll ever know ... then you will look back and know you never waisted a minute ... sending you a big vertual hug ...

  • Hi Chriss thank you for taking time to reply. I also lost my brother suddenly to a RTC and yes massive shock it was 19 years ago. I’m so sorry for your loss it is horrendous but if if helps (not a cliche) time does help you heal ️ I told him I loved him today and he said thank you
  • Junie2 I am so so sorry,

    My daughter has breast cancer and secondary lung cancer and is now having the end of life care,

    When you are told nothing else can be done it does take a while to sink in.

    Sleeping is something I struggle with too as my brain goes into overdrive what if's and if only's

    they way I have found to combat this is to go to sleep with the radio on low, it helps me it may help you.

    Spend as much time as you can just talking together reliving old memories and happy times and make new ones.

    I wish I could say and do more for you.xx

  • Thank you confudulated I am so sorry to hear this too .

    Hes comfortable now with a fentynl syringe driver and they gave him some Midazolam to which helped him relaxed. I talked to him last night about his happy place in the sunshine sun on his face and water around his ankles with a  beer in his hand he relaxed more when I spoke to him. I told him I love him and thanked him for keeping me safe all my life and said he can now go and be with his son and they can race around on motorcycles.

    much love to you ️ ️ ️ ️ ️ ️ ️
