My dad was diagnosed a year ago with stage 4 lung cancer , he/we have been through a lot this year with his illness, it definitely seems to of spread and he's getting weaker! He now has gone into hospital with a chest infection having IV antibiotics to try and get rid of this. My mum died of lung cancer 16 years ago, she developed a chest infection which was eventually described as pneumonia. I'm wondering if it is the same for dad really no one has said it's pneumonia but it's highly likely isn't it. You know he's been through so much this last year and he's suffered so much at 83 I almost hope he will just go to sleep and not suffer anymore is if strange to feel like that. I don't want my dad to die ever but it's inevitable he's going to I just had enough of watching him suffer . Is it normal to feel like this?
