Hello All
I find it hard to find the words.
My Dad was diagnosed with lung cancer in October and it shook my world. We weren’t told what stage it was but it has come with so many complications, he also suffers from COPD. He was taken into hospital after having a heart attack and after an X-ray he was told he had lung cancer. We asked why it hadn’t been picked up 6 months earlier when he had had an x-ray with a suspected chest infection and was told they weren’t looking for it so that’s why it wasn’t picked up. They couldn’t do anything regarding the cancer due to the fact his heart was having issues where he was diagnosed with a pericardial infusion. After what seem like endless tests, stays in hospital and months of waiting he finally started his treatment in January. After 4days he was re-admitted to hospital with sepsis and then he had to stay in hospital only coming home a week ago. They have suspended his chemotherapy for now as his body isn’t strong enough. He has lost weight dramatically and has to be on oxygen 24/7. Watching the most important man in my life go through this is the toughest thing ever and always wondering how much more can his body take. I never let on to him how hard I’m finding this.
Sorry for rambling I just thought maybe this would help me.
My partner lost her mum the day before New Year’s Eve from pneumonia so is there the best she can at present.
i just feel a little lost.
Thanks
