Hi

Im sorry for what your going through.

My dad was diagnosed with lung cancer around late Feb and at the point of diagnosis we were told he had 2 weeks left. I'm actually fact my dad stayed with us a further 6 weeks and passed away at home peacefully on 22nd April. During that time we had what I call several false alarms - to the point we thought that was it and were saying our good byes. There were days when he was really low and others when he totally perked up - it can be very up and down. Towards the end Dad was less talkative and drifted slowly out of conciousness - it's when that happens you know you are near the end. All I can say is that use this time as a gift, spend as much time together and say all those things that are important. We also lost our mother to cancer 3 years ago but the difference was it went undiagnosed and her death took us by total surprise. While no experience is any easier, all I can say as hard as it is to know your losing your loved one, simply having that time to say good bye and have as much quality time really helps with the grieving process. 
 

I don't know if what I'm saying helps at all - just cherish every moment as you reasonably can and know that time eventually heals.

Wishing you both strength and fortitude.

Thank you all for your replies and I'm sorry what you've all gone through. My dads still sitting up talking and eating but the doctor has just been and has said they're going to fit the driver for pain . I'm guessing this isn't good sign. The doctor said he's made of tough stuff and he's proved him wrong on every corner so far but he the end is coming . Love with you all . Thanks
