Hi there ...

So sorry your grandad is going through this horrid cancer diagnosis.... all I can say as someone who's is going through my own cancer journey is, take every day as a bonus ... there's still time to make loads of memories ... don't look ahead crossing off days.. live in the day and make the days into memory days ..

Is there something he still wants to do .. somewhere he'd like to go .. and you know just sitting with him, and asking about what it was like when he was young .. and look through albums and l bet you can find out loads about him you never knew ...

My mum died suddenly from a heart attack and had no chance to even say those things like I was so proud to be her daughter... or hold her hand or say l love you, one more time ... what I'd give for just one day, or even just an hour ...  you have that chance I never got ... so hold his hand on this last journey and leave nothing unsaid ... sending you a vertual hug... chrissie xx

Hi Ya,

so sorry to hear about your grandad ,my Dad died in December of lung cancer cauused by asbestos he lasted11months from diagnosis, its a real  journey youll realy find out whos who i had to reley on my faith

my dad  refused the  morphine as it monged him out and took the cannabis oil which eased his pain and we felt helped  he did undergo imunetherapy but it didnt work one thing i did which im so pleased about and eases the pain now was wrote a diary so i could rember everything although difficult i  tried to make many good memories taking  one day at a time. i wrote him a love letter telling him all the things i loved about him and also told him the good things  which he loved. i played music to him even when he was in hospital. i love what chriss says as its so true make the most of the memories, i somtimes focused to much on finding a cure which there was none rather than making memories although i have them.

enjoy every day with him surround yourself with good people and look after yourself xxx

Hi @franna  ...

Thank you, and you know even with dementure patients they all seem to respond to music .. and they remember words to songs, even when they don't remember us ... so doing that and playing music must have been very calming ... and I'm sure he must be so very proud of "his girl" 

We don't loose them, we take them along in our heart ... as when we go, well live through our children ..sending caring thoughts to you and a vertual hug ... chrissie
