Hi Darren

Welcome to the forum though sorry that it's your Dad suffering from cancer which brings you here.  I joined quite some time ago when my husband had incurable cancer and still find the forum a supportive place (he passed away last year) to talk about feelings. It is just sometimes easier to write it down when you feel there is no where else to be open.

It must be very hard when you are visiting your Dad knowing what the consultant has said to you  but hope you can chat generally and tell him what you are up to just now as he will I am sure be interested.  Is he being kept comfortable with medication in which case he may sleep more than usual.  My husband liked to watch tv to take his mind 'elsewhere' whereas my Dad (also had cancer) would enjoy listening to music.

Come and chat here when you need to as I am sure others will respond.  Jules
