My dad lost his right kidney in march 2018 due to cancer. It was found by accident which was lucky as the kidney was barely working. Within 8 weeks of diagnoses the kidney was removed. My dad recovered well but in january this year he was diagnosed with esophagus cancer. He has 2 tumours and is currently going through chemo. Its so hard to see my dad so ill, frail and weak. He barely eats or drinks and sleeps most of the time. Its horrible watching him go through this. All we can do is be there for them, hold their hand and let them know how much we love them. It sucks and its scary. Just try to remember all the good times you have had with your mum. Take lots of pictures before she gets too much sicker. I regret not having many photos of my nan before cancer took her 15yrs ago.  ... View more

Hi, my dad got diagnosed with esophagus cancer back in january. He has 2 tumours near the bottom of the esophagus. My dad is 72 and currently going through chemotherapy. He is so weak and has done nothing but sleep for the last 2 days. He wont eat and hardly drinks anything. He has 1 more chemo dose left, then more scans and then the dr wants to operate. My dad also has copd. He is looking so frail and is loosing weight. My dad chose to have the chemo and wants the surgery. It is so hard seeing him this way. I dont even know if he will survive the surgery to be honest. I hate this. I dont think dad should have the surgery but its his choice. The dr said if he survives the surgery he could have another 1 -5 yrs at most but recovery could take 6 -12 months. I dont want to lose my dad but i hate seeing him like this. Its hard on his granddaughters too. ... View more
