Hi,
Thought I'd reach out for support with what I'm dealing with. Just 3 weeks ago I found out there was something wrong with my Dad, to find out it was Bowel Cancer was an absolute shock and then a few days later to find out that it's so advanced and no treatment available other than palliative care has been an absolutely shocking and devastating nightmare. I did not expect this at 29 when my dear Dad is just 63. I've got over the initial denial and unreal feeling, it's sunk in and now i know what I'm facing. It's incredible hard seeing my once strong powerful and invincible dad turn into this very sad skinny and poorly old man. I'm off work and spending nearly all day and night with him, he's got lots of sister's, a wife and me and my sister caring for him and keeping his mind occupied. We are being as strong as we can for him, what I can't bare seeing is him pretty much unable to eat more than 1 bowl of soup a day, the enjoyment on his face when he managed to eat 1/2 pack of crisps and the saddness in his face when he once again remembers what's happening. He's honestly the most kind caring polite clever and thoughtful man I've ever come across and I feel so annoyed and upset that this can be happening to him. Why is it so unfair. Thank you for any advice, I feel this is the only place where people understand how I'm feeling.
