My Dad hasn't really ate anything since the beginning of May. He says he just has no appetite.
He has had bloods done at the GP and then got called for a lot more. A gastric consultant is going to phone him next week for a telephone appointment after he has reviewed the blood results.
I feel that him and my mum aren't being pro active enough. I went around today and he was in bed. I said to my mum that I thought he should be in hospital and she said that she was going to get my dad to phone the GP tomorrow.
She admitted he fell at the weekend but was on cyclizine and was hallucinating on it so has stopped it. If I had knew when he fell I would have phoned an ambulance.
Mum did say she told him he was going to starve to death if he didn't start to eat.
Its such a drastic change in him. He has always been super fit especially for his age.
He hurt his ankle playing golf and then took siactica and has gone downhill so very, very fast
I don't really know what I want from writing this. I'm just so worried and at a loss Sad
I don't know if my mum wants me to take control over the whole thing or not. She's usually pretty on the ball but neither of them even know what the bloods are for or why he's getting a phone appointment.

OP, I'm so sorry. I lost my DF a few years back, so I know how much it hurts. Thanks

So sorry for your loss. Your father put up a good fight. I went through a similar experience with my Grandfather and he passed 2 months ago. Cancer is so awful 😢

@GreekTragedy

So sorry for you loss. How's your Mum?
She's not too bad at the moment, the last couple of weeks have been horrendous for my Dad he was suffering terribly,so his passing was a relief to us all, most of all him. Thank you everyone for your kind words.
