Hi, My dad was diagnosed with AML a few weeks ago after he was admitted to hospital for chest pain. He started chemo and was on it for 3 days but he got an infection and has rapidly deteriorated and it has had to be stopped. His kidneys have failed and we have been told the lukemia is uncurable. My dad has given up and Is now refusing all treatment as he said he doesn't want to go through it anymore. It's breaking my heart. He's my best friend and we have always been there for each other. There's no escaping the fact that he is going to die now. The doctors have had the talk with me. I'm struggling to cope with everything but I'm trying to be strong for him and my kids. I'm trying to be there for him but it's out of my hands. I need help. I don't know how I'll be able to cope without him. I'm his only child and the rest of the family (my uncles and aunty etc) live all over the country. I feel so alone. Is anyone else in the same or a similar situation?
