My lovely dad was diagnosed with cancer last year. He had surgery before Christmas which went well but he's been very unwell over the past few weeks. His heart rate was up and he was dehydrated so he was admitted to hospital.
He was due to have a meeting to discuss his prognosis at hospital tomorrow anyway. The consultant has now told him to call my mum to ask her to be present for the meeting tomorrow. The cancer has spread. This isn't going to be good news is it? He is only in his late fifties. I can't process it right now. I keep telling myself it might be to discuss a care plan or treatment, there's still hope. But deep down I'm really fearing the worst. He is such a wonderful person and so full of life. This feels so wrong. I have no idea how I will approach this with my young dc. I can't even think straight.
