I think it's important to be honest. I know it would be hard, my father just passed (4 days ago) and he was honest with us about everything & every piece of news the dr gave us. What ever the news it only made us stronger and to never give up. Goodluck ... View more

Thankyou all for your comments & kind words. I ended up visiting my dad as we received news that he had weeks to live. I came to stay with him Sunday before last and unfortunately he passed in the early hours of last Thursday morning. I was with him and so was my mum. I am glad I came home to spend time with him, although it was and has been the hardest time in my life, I don't have any regrets. We have been planning the funeral and it all seems surreal at this stage. The funeral is tomorrow and I just don't know how I will go. ... View more

Hi I am new to this forum Long story is my dad is sick with stage 4 lung cancer (has spread to his bones, etc) He is currently in hospital as he is very frail and weak, he is still recovering from his last infection of septicemia. Drs say now that his marrow is causing another blood infection. He is in and out of confusion (they are not sure exactly why he is having confusion) and it is hard as me and my brothers live interstate. I visited him about a month ago but the latest news is that unless he starts gaining strength there's not much they can do - heartbreaking 😞 Should I visit him or stay home? What have you done in a similar situation? I am stuck between a rock and a hard Place. He doe have my mum & close friends by his side. But I feel I should be there for the family. I just don't know what to do or think anymore..... ... View more
