Dad diagnosed

Hi folks,

A few weeks ago my Dad was diagnosed with bowel cancer. He's 79 and not very mobile due to COPD and early stages of vascular dementia so drs have said he's too frail for any surgery or oher treatment. So, it's terminal...they say 2 years max. I've come on here as I know what lies ahead will be tough and here everyone is talking about and experiencing similar things. 

  • Hello Sue, 

    I'm really sorry to hear about your dad's diagnosis and that he is not able to have surgery or treatment. Like you've mentioned above what lies ahead will be tough but I'm glad you've joined the forum as many members here will really understand what you and your dad are facing and I'm sure some of them will post soon to offer their support and advice to you. In the meantime do have a look around the forum if you haven't had the chance to do so yet and chat to others on their discussions about bowel cancer by using the 'search forum' option above.

    Post as much as you need to Sue and remember that we will always be here for you when you need us.

    Wishing you both all the very best,
