Hi everyone, im so confused just now, we were told 5 days ago that my dad has terminal lung cancer which has spread, there was no indication he had this until he was taken into hospital complaining of breathlessness, where he was found to have pnemonia, after a few days he wasnt getting any better, they done a scan found out he had lung cancer and then few days later said it was terminal and had spread into his lymph notes. the hosp desided to do 5 days radio therapy, the first few days my dad appeared to deteriorate very fast they said it was wrapped round his wind pipe hence his breathing is poor, thats why they wonted to do the radio to try reduce it to make him more comfortable, over the past few days he appears to have picked up and maybe i was wrong to but it gave me a bit hope but today have been told his oxegen levels are low again. i know the doctors cant give a length of time we have with him, and i know you may read this and think this is about me but its not i just really dont understand, my dad even now still has humour and to look at him he looks okay to be honest you wouldnt think he was ill now appart from the oxegen mask, i dont know if anyone can answer to this and to be honest dont even know what im asking, ive stopped working as i want to be with him, i dont know what to do, we've been told hes not allowed to leave hospital until he can breath better, i dont want to lose him hes to young im to young im just blethering on now, id be greatfull for any thoughts thanks
