| My Dad has been diagnosed with bowel cancer about 5 weeks ago and then told that he has lots of deposits in his liver, still no treatment yet, went to see general surgeon the other day and he and team are going to discuss treatment. It isnt good, the general surgeon wasnt very nice and seem in a rush. Bottom line dad has 9 months without treatment, maybe 15 months with but could rapidly get worse at any time. He told Dad if he were him he would start making will. Apart from going to the toilet alot, and a little aching in the legs, Dad is 'normal'. I think that is why I'm finding it hard. Dad is great, he has a very good attitude and we laugh alot, which may sound awful but we cant help it, we cant and wont sit around crying and being sad cause thats not what my Dad is like. Thats not to say that I dont cry, having a bad day today, cried alot, then my husband came home from work and I felt better. I love my Dad so much, I'm scared, I dont want him to suffer, and I'm scared about what the doctor said about it getting worse very quickly even though he feels great a the moment. I have to say my Dads attitude helps us all because he isnt dwelling on it, how can we??!!??. Dad has a great sence of humour, and I love to laugh with him, I forget the cancer,...then it comes back and bites you on the arse!. I have found a great site that has really help me, and helped my Dad. This guy has a wicked sence of humour and has been and is going through alot. This is how I came to find the cancer forums. www.cancergiggles.blog-city.com |
