Hi,my name is Louise barneymumps is a nickname my dad used to call me lol.my dad had a oncology appointment on the 25th April where we found out it had spread to his pelvis and some of the bones in his skull.the doctor told us he had about 3-6 months without treatment and maybe 6-9 with chemotherapy.he decided to leave the hospital and try and enjoy the time he had left.he was in pain everyday and wasn't able to walk anymore.on Wednesday evening he went into st Francis hospice and he was found dead 12hrs later at 6:30am Thursday.im in total shock can't process it and just feel numb.going to register his death tomorrow and see the undertaker.im just going through the motions he didn't even make 3 wks from seeing the oncologist x

I am so sorry to hear your dad died so suddenly shortly after seeing his oncologist. Our sincere condolences from the Cancer Chat team. It is normal for you to feel shocked at the moment and I hope talking to others here will help you a little.
