Hi ATAY,

Welcome to Cancer Chat. I'm sorry to hear of the situation with your dad and I can completely understand your feelings about this - I'm sure it must be incredibly difficult and with the added uncertainty too.

Try to take things a day at a time and keep doing what you can to support your dad but also look after yourself too.

We're always here for support if you need it and hopefully the forum can be helpful for you, even if it's simply to write things down or reach out to others who may be in a similar situation.

Wishing you all the best,

Ben

Hi I'm so sorry to hear about this, I am in a similar situation hating limbo land all the uncertainty is so so exhausting beyond belief. My dad also has small cell lung cancer. He also has brain mets and is in his hospital bed at home with carers and we got told he has weeks left.. he eats a little bit each day and sleeps most of the time but has alert times where he is more chatty. I'm afraid we have to take this day by day don't we, it's the most frustrating thing- don't know about you but I love to make plans and have some certainty in life! I rushed to visit him 4 hours away on Tuesday after being told it was nearly the end, yet 6 days later he's hanging on in there not having changed much since Tuesday! It's all so confusing all I can do is send you my best wishes and hope we find peace in this awful situation.
