Hi tinkerbell163,

I've only just seen your post which means the meeting is today. My Dad is in the same position but our meeting is on 29th so I don't know what to expect either.

My heart goes out to you and your family. Please let us know how it all goes today. There are so many people here that will support us through this difficult time.

Xx

Sorry to read this, my lovely dad got stage 4 bowel cancer when i was about the same age as you, so I know a bit of how you feel. He lived for a year and a half after diagnosis. Everyone's experience of cancer will be different though. I've just started reading a book called Hope beyond Cure by a guy called David McDonald, who got stage 4 cancer nearly 10 years ago and is still going, which might be worth a look (if you don't mind a bit of God stuff!).

Hope the meeting goes as well as it can today, I know they are emotionally exhausting.

Those meetings are horrendous when they are trying to cure you I can only imagine how they are when it concerns palliative care . I pray you had the best news you could have been hoping for . I know someone who was given under a year to live 10 years ago and he is still enjoying life . 

Thoughts are with you and your dad .
