My had was diagnosed with lung cancer 11yrs ago and had surgery to remove part of his lung. He also has COPD and Emphysema. About March time I called an ambulance out to him as he had an episode were he fainted and his breathing and colour wasn't good. From the time in hospital and scans done he has recently discovered he now has cancer on the good lung, partial collapsed lung, lung around the lung, a large bladder tumour also. He is too risky to operate on and has refused any further treatment. Last week the doctor confirmed he is in his last year of life and a DNR form was completed. It then gets worse, my Mum his career caught Covid, which now my Dad has. Yesterday we discovered it's now Covid Pneumonia, after hearing him agitated and struggling to breathe he is now on morphine and a driver to assist with breathing and pain. For the last two days he has hardly eaten or drank and spends most of his day asleep. He wants to remain at home so my Mum and my sisters are proving the care along with the community nurses and Doctor. It's heartbreaking to see and I'm just feeling sad and broken. If cancer isn't bad enough on its own without Covid too. Any help or advice gladly received.
