Sorry to hear it mate. Lymphoma took my dad 2 years ago on 7th September. The one thing that brought me comfort in the darkest days after he passed was the knowledge that he wasn't suffering anymore. It'll never go away entirely (in my experience thus far anyway), but it'll fade to the background with time.
Sorry to hear that mate, my mum's in intensive care at the moment, has been battling for 3 years. The best thing you can do is be there for him, like he has been there for you
Be as strong as you can be for the family mate its terrible when something like this happens, take the life lessons your old man taught you take charge be strong and he will be proud.
swanseajack, there are few words, if any, that can suffice as a response to your post.
However, there are many who have been where you find yourself, and (without meaning to sound trite) understand what that means for you now.
Nothing quite compares to seeing someone deteriorate so quickly, especially if they are very outgoing, it's the most heart breaking experience I've ever had. Seeing a woman who at 80 was capable of 20 mile hikes and was still running a charity delivering aid to Bosnian children have to be helped down a step outside our front door because she could barely stand. It's an experience I wouldn't wish on anyone.
My thoughts are with you and your family, stick together.
Cancer took my father when i was 13 so about 6 nearly 7 years ago now. Quite a long time but ill never forget seeing him take his last breath. Horrible disease.
My mums had cancer but luckily got through it, i really hope i never get it but i imagine i will!
