My dad was diagnosed with lung cancer and secondary brain cancer and given weeks to live on 31.10.2023.
The journey since has been hurrendous with neglect from every service going to include home care when his mobility went.
We have gone for multiple biopsies and been turned away as dad wasn't well enough. Every dr/specialist has their new opinion that totally contradicts the last. It's been the worst experience in every way possible. There is no support out there for my dad or me. Even hospice were rude and when my dad picked up a bit they turfed him out 22nd December!! Since then the hospice nurse hasn't even been in touch when she promised continual visits.
My dad is now in a nursing home. He has started forgetting things and getting very muddled. He has began to cry alot and this is not my dad at all, this does coincide with a family fall out between him and my brother where my brothr walked away! He is coming back today.
Please can someone point me in the direction of counciling and explain what will happen with dad. Will he end up forgetting who i am? The home have told me they think this is the start of the rapide decline.
No one has explained to us what may happen or what to expect. I've just been told by an acquaintance that I'm going to go thriugh hell with this.
I'm so lost and heartbroken and not even my small family have stepped up to support me.
