My dad has just been diagnosed with stage 4 lung cancer, he is waiting for an appointment from the oncology department but in the meantime he is struggling to do day to day things and has a very bad phelmy cough, can't sleep because of it, don't know what to do or who to get in touch with for help for him, feel like we've been told this devastating news and now been left to wait for his appointment in regards to treatment. Feel so helpless

Hi mate. sorry to hear about your dad. all I can say is get touch with the macmillan nurses at the hospital they will help you until you get to see the oncologist.  tell ur dad to hang in there. Once his treatment starts he should start to feel better almost immediately 

Thankyou and i really hope dad begins to feel abit better, all feels like a bad dream at the minute just trying to digest everything...and you my friend keep fighting we're all going to fight this with all we got.
