He went to the doctors for an insect bite and while there mentioned a cough. As a precaution they gave him a chest X ray which lead to them finding a plural effusion. Agter a CT scan and biposy last week, they have now diagnosed cancer of the lining of the lung. The consultant has said that it is hard to treat but that he is fit and healthy enough to try a combination of treatments. There is no evidence that it has spread and is on 1 lung. This has all happened withing the space of a few weeks and I am crushed. In 2013 my younger brother dropped dead which is not something you can ever get over. Since then, my Dad has become like a beat friend. I don't know what to do with myself and an just sat at the kitchen table in tears. I don't know how I can face work and in fact carrying on.
