My dad was diagnosed with lung and brain cancer about 3 months ago, originally the health centre were treating him for what they thought was inflammation of the neck and had him doing all kinds of neck exercises, he went to the doctors 6 times and the hospital twice to try get an X-ray but they wouldn't give him one , my dad who I have never seen cry in almost 40 years was in so much discomfort that my mum phoned the doctor again who only after being told that my dad could hardly move from bed again agreed to send an ambulance, in the hospital after getting the X-ray the he had been trying to get for 6 months it turned out to be a broken bone in his neck he got sent for further scans and it revealed lung cancer that's spread to the brain and it's terminal after 5 weeks in the hospital and 1 dose of radiation therapy he is now out of hospital and at home , he's been home about 7 weeks and was doing well considering now in the space of a week he's fallen twice and he can't walk anywhere unassisted , his appetite has gone rite down , his memory is going and a lot of the things he's saying is making no sense, he's driving at lot of water and peeing a lot but not a lot bowl movement and he's always saying he's roasting but his skin isn't , he's also sleeping a lot more
