My dad has also been recently diagnosed with stage 4 lung cancer, he is still smoking about 5 roll ups a day. At first I tried to stop him but, he has smoked all his life about 30 per day. I personally feel unfortunately the damage is already done. So if he gets a bit of relaxing from a couple of roll ups crack on he's smoked for 50 years I feel lit night be more harm that good giving up completely. Sorry I can't answer a obout the e cigaret
I agree if its terminal what harm can it do. Family think otherwise but cant cope with any arguments, only found out 5 days ago and at same time confirmed vascular dementia too! All i want is for her be be happy and comfortable during her final months.
Anyway im waiting for community matron to get back to me tomorrow to see what she thinks....fingers crossed eh!
I bet those family members are no smokers :-). It is weird to others though the whole thing really that got him here is smoking but he's not coping very well with his condition mentally he's so scared and hates going to bed at night, I think if we didn't let him have any he really cldnt cope.
Hi there, I'm sorry to hear about your mum. I'm sure there will be no more than normal, that's providing there are no chemicals in there that may react with any treatment she will receive. I lost my dad to lung cancer nearly 6 months ago and he too smoked for 50 years and the cancer was caused by smoking. I absolutely hate smoking and what it does and what it's done, but like you say the damage is now done. If it helps by making them less stressed then that has to be a better scenario to a already difficult time.
Hope u feel a little bit better this morning with chatting to other people on here who are in same situation as us. I find comfort in talking about it and hearing other peoples situations.
I got some good news today....Matron messaged me to say there is no problem with the ecigs if it makes her feel better...she will be so chuffed ...cant wait to see her face when i tell her later today :)
Sorry to hear your dad scared of going to bed ...Its not nice to see poor guy....is he allowed alcohol..my mum likes an odd whiskey now and again Which helps her?
Morning:-) yes I do feel much better I did answer another message this morning to posts we was on where I explained myself a bit further. But today I'm dusting myself off a bit getting my bum in a he gym and cracking on with life otherwise u end up hating life! And that's from chatting to u and butterfly took on board what you girls were saying :-)
Oh bless your mum with her e cigaret! It's good news though it's ok family members s saying no but it almost feels a bit cruel to say no doesn't it bless her

How are you today and how is your Dad? Did you manage to go to the gym?
Went to visit Mum yesterday and was shocked by how bad she was...had a major wobble and broke down in front of my stepfather which i didnt want to as he is struggling. Up to then ive been the strong one , hiding my emotions infront of him but it just came out from nowhere i couldnt help it. Having day at home today,get all my sobbing done then back there tomorrow , do their ironing n hoover round...hopefully il be stronger this time. Might get her a bouquet of flowers too.
