Hello,
My father was diagnosed with lung cancer last year. I was unknown about the stages as my dad went to the appointment without me. Since then, we found out this month in April that my father's cancer is terminal. He is currently undergoing chemo and has been told with chemo his life expectancy is a year. Without it will obviously be less time. He is considering stopping treatment as it's making him feel unwell and he's not been given a long life expectancy even with treatment. This is a huge shock to the system. He had skin cancer 2 years ago and fought that, then was diagnosed with lung cancer. Never smoked, although I know that doesn't exclude people from getting it. He is 62 years old. Has 4 grandchildren aged between 2 and 6. But he can't move. His mobility was poor anyway, he hasn't a great quality of life. I have told him he knows in his body and mind how much he can take from the treatment and to not factor anyone else but himself. I don't want him unhappy.
I guess I'm just on here for some support on the beginning of the end of my dads journey. The consultant has reached out to the palliative care team so I know things are becoming set in place for when my dad makes the decision to stop.
