My father has been diagnosed with cancer and I need advice

my dad has been diagnosed with lung cancer. He has been suffering with shortness of breath and pain since December 
He is 65, smoker and previous drug and alcohol abuser.
He went for a biospy and had a heart attack after, he was placed in a medicated coma and he was fitted with a stent and released. 
He has had a small stroke since coming out in March.
How much longer will my dad be here, what can I do to make him comfortable and what can I expect?

  • Hello Jade, 

    I can see that you have posted in a couple of topic areas and hopefully one of community members will be along to reply to you with their experiences soon. 

    In the meantime, I wanted to let you know that we do have a team of nurses you can call to speak to if you think it might help. You can call them free from a UK landline on 0808 800 4040 Monday to Friday 9am to 5pm. 

    Sending best wishes,
