Re: Stage 4 esophageal cancer with liver mets

Hi @Ch00k So sorry to read the news of your father.  A cancer diagnosis is awful in itself but hearing that it's terminal is such difficult news to bear - for both the person themselves and for the family.  Those who are caring, either up close or from a distance (and that what it seems to be for you) will have lots of emotions about what it's like for them too, including guilt... frustration... fear.   Cancer Council runs a couple of Telephone Support Groups (Carer and Advanced Cancer) that could be helpful for both your dad and your mum.  If they haven't already, they could call 13 11 20 (from within Australia) to find out more.   Take care - and stay in touch if you like through this community.
