My dad is in his 80s. He’s got health issues but has always been quite robust. A few weeks ago he suddenly became unwell and I took him to A&E. He was diagnosed with advanced bowel cancer. It’s aggressive and it’s already spread. He’s now in a nursing home, on morphine, bone thin and not eating. I think the end is near. I’m shell shocked at how quickly this has happened. He’s fully aware of what’s happening and it’s so cruel. I’m not completely naive. I lost my mum to cancer but I’m shaken to the core at how quickly this thing has got him.
