About SusieT

My Dad was diagnosed with mesothelioma and another lung cancer just before Christmas. I fought hard and had him discharged from hospital on 23rd. He's deteriorating daily and I wondered if anyone has any experience of the stages, so I can get my head around it all. He's having no treatment, nothing was offered as it was too advanced. He's home and hospice nurses, district nurse and Gp and visiting daily. But now he's getting really stroppy and obsessed with irrelevant things. He gets very angry and frustrated and takes it out on me and mum. Mum is so private and wont talk to anyone else, I want to help but I don't know how much more I can cope with. I'm bi polar and have to fight to get out of bed. I want to be with them everyday but I'm burning myself out. The GP said it would be sooner than later, but what does that even mean? Any advice will be read - thank you. x
