I am so sorry for your horrible news. What devastating news for your brother and your family. When my Dad was diagnosed he was given 2-6 weeks I was lucky I could have time away from work. I spent every day with him. Now he has gone and it’s so painful but those days with him I will always always cherish and hold close to my heart. The conversation as sad and heart breaking as it was. My only advice is to be there for each other, talk, cry, hug And if it helps I felt the same way as you do, I kept saying “how can we do this” but somehow you do love and prayers to you xx

Reading other people’s stories is what’s getting me through. Knowing that we are not alone and there are others out there who feel the same is somewhat of a comfort. I pray for easier, kinder days for both of us xxx

Hi Ann I’m sorry I wish I had some advice for you but I don’t, I do know how you feel. My Dad passed 24 days today. My sisters and I cared for him at home. Dad was the king of our family and the days have been dark and empty without him. I understand that sucker punch feeling, it’s so painful. It sounds like your Mum was incredibly strong and very proud of you. Sending you love and light xxxxxxxx

I’m so sorry to read your story. I lost my Dad on 21st October He was diagnosed with cancer 8 weeks prior. I understand what it feels like to battle with the thought of him suffering in the end. My Dad suffered so badly in the last 2 days, we were caring for him at home and it was very confronting. My Dad didn’t want to die and would beg God to save him. That is what torments me now. The thought of a big strong man begging for his life, he didn’t want to leave us. I replay the conversation he had with the doctor in head, he was given 2-6 weeks to live and he asked please will I be here for Christmas. I understand the roller coaster it must of been for you, having thought he was in the clear only to have your heartbroken. We thought my Dad was getting better (we were so blind to it all) How cruel and horrifying for your family. I am mad most days, mad at God, the doctors, everyone I’m not sure if I’ve helped you at all but know that, but I wanted you to know I understand your pain xx

Hi Everyone Today is 2 weeks that my Dad passed away. He was diagnosed 8 weeks ago, we had no idea at the time that he had cancer, neither did he. His prognosis was 2-6 weeks to live. We (my mum, myself & 3 sisters) took him home and cared for him. The last few days with him were beyond heartbreaking. I feel like I detached a little “this isn’t Dad” it got me through. After his prognosis we all fell apart, crying, sobbing. I was suffering panic attack and anxiety for weeks. We pulled it together and got through and did such an amazing job caring for him, I’m really proud of my family. But now since Dad has gone I can’t cry. I haven’t been able to sob or scream like I thought I would. Friends are sobbing for me, they are checking on me and asking am I okay? I don’t know how to answer. Yes I feel fine?? I don’t like to think about him not being here. I replay the last few weeks through my head but if I think about the future without him my brain just blocks it, I’m literally not able to process it. Im a wife and mother to 3, I’m also helping my sisters take care of my Mum. I need to stay busy so I can’t think. I distract myself at any chance I get before I start overthinking. I’m going back to work next week as I’ve had the last 10 weeks off. Why cant I cry? When will it actually hit me? Will I be numb forever. I don’t like to say he’s gone because I don’t believe he is. Xx

My Dad has recently been diagnosed and was told he only has weeks to live. His anxiety is very distressing. Has anyone got any info on Medical Marijuana? I’m after recommendations for pain and anxiety. Thanks

Hi, This is my first post here. 3 weeks ago my Dad was diagnosed with cancer. We have been told it is metastatic but we do not know the primary cancer as Dad’s kidneys were failing and he is too unwel for an endoscopy or colonoscopy. About a week after diagnosed Dad was told he only had 2-6 weeks left and was admitted to palliative. As you can imagine our lives have turned upside down in only 3 weeks. He hasn’t been given any chance to fight this and he is getting weaker every day. My 3 sisters, Mum and I have brought Dad home and will care for him because this is his wish. My main question is, we are considering a Red Blood Transfer as Dads so weak. Has anyone had one at this late stage? Did it help? Any advice is appreciated.
