I just feel so so sad and I’m not sure how I’m going to cope with what’s going to happen. I think my dad has got lung cancer. He’s 91 (I know). He had been having breathing problems for a couple of months and has lost an alarming amount of weight. His GP sent him to hospital on Tuesday and they drained a litre and a half of fluid from his lung. He has to go back for a CT scan and same day results next week. I know when I was with him at this hospital on Tuesday that the consultant was trying to prepare me for what was to come, although she obviously could not diagnose.
He lives with my mum who suffers with her own health problems and disabilities. I’m going to go round tomorrow and speak candidly with them about preparing for the worst.
My MiL is a nurse and has been trying to prepare me today. I’ve shed a lot of tears. Even though he is 91 he has always been so strong and amazing and I thought he’d be around forever. I don’t know how I’m going to cope when he becomes very very poorly.
