Hi to all, i would just like to say what a great site this is for support. I am a 42yo male,15 years ago my mother called me & told me dad had a rare form of bone cancer.Dad actually had symptoms for 2 years before the diagnosis but was very stubborn & thought it was arthritis! So began his journey with a replacement of the femur bone in his leg, a brief recovery & physio. For the next six years he had no issuses but then started to get pain back in his hip. Another operation was then done to remove more bone & soft tissue, at the same time an x-ray was called for & his doctors found 20-30 shadows on his lungs. Last year they found growths in his liver so doctors gave him radiotherapy for it & the lung issue. His wieght is down to 54kg & last week his specialist advized that a hospice place get booked. We are very stressed as a family because dad is in extreme denial about his condition & on occasion has become abusive to my mother even going as far to blame her for his cancer.He wont even contemplate pain control & wont go near his morphine. Even the GP that they both go to is at wits end with his attitude! I get very worried for both of them as mum is herself recovering from a masectomy. Sorry for this long winded outpouring but I really dont know what to do without causing world war 3 within my family, thanks Joshr ... View more
