My dad was diagnosed with lung cancer in August at the age of 87. He refused to have a sy to see what type of cancer it is, and turned down palliative radiotherapy. He lives on his own, and has refused the offers of help from Macmillan nurses or any other health professionals. He has started letting himself go, and now sleeps most of the day. His appetite is decreasing and he doesn't drink as much as he should. He is terrified of getting covid, so only allows me inside his cottage. To be honest, I really don't know what to expect. At the time of his diagnosis, the doctor gave him a few months, but I have no idea what signs to look out for when he is nearing the end. I love my dad, and am so scared, having lost my mum suddenly 5 years ago.
