Hi,
We found out today that my lovely dad has cancer. Incurable lung cancer at the top of his lung, which has spread to part of his liver, bone and a couple lymph nodes. The doctors have said that they can treat it but it isn't curable, they have expressed that chemo is an option and he has said he will have the chemo.
I'm struggling to cope with the prospect of losing him, he is 57 and I am 24 and my sister is 26. He is our whole world.
I'm seeking some comfort in knowing it hasn't spread to his other lung, but knowing it has spread elsewhere is devastating me.
We don't know how much time he has, has anybody experienced similar diagnosis and know roughly how long they survived.
He is very fit and healthy, he hasn't had any typical symptoms of cancer. No weight loss, appetite is fine, no weakness or cough or persistent infections/illnesses.
His X-Ray was clear however his CT scan showed otherwise.
I'm struggling to cope with this diagnosis and don't know if I can actually carry on if and when something happens to him.
Sorry this post is all over the place, my heads a mess.
