Hi, my dad has recently been diagnosed with terminal cancer. He has tumours in oesophagus and bowel with spread to lungs. It's been a massive shock as he was so well and it was only diagnosed because he was a little anemic. He had no symptoms. He is cure belt in hospital as after his second cycle of chemo he developed serious diarrhoea - 12 days on and it's not stopped. Mum and I have spent the last 6 days at the hospital every day - I have been signed off work for a month as struggling to cope with this emotionally.
