[generic] My Dad has cancer.

[Nathan]

I wanted to let you all know that my Dad hs been diagnosed with caner and the prognosis isn't great. He has a tumour in his oesophagus which is inoperable, so they plan to give him a stent to help him swallow his food. Unfortunately, the cancer is stage 4 and has spread his liver and one of his lungs. It's also in some of his bones. They're going to give him palliative care, comprising of chemotherapy. The consultant told my sister he probably only has months left, but there's an outside chance he may live longer. However, that all depends on how well he responds to chemo. It's been a tough Christmas on us all, as we were told the news on the 23rd December.

Oh sh***. Really sorry to hear that

 

[Maddz]

Sorry to hear your news. Remember to take time for yourself as well - nobody expects you to be strong all the time, and it would be very unhealthy to do so.

 

[Nick Middleton]

So sorry to read this Nathan. As others have said, look after yourself in amongst all this. It’s a hard road for all involved and I wish you, your dad and your family and friends, all strength and every comfort as you have to walk it.

 

[Guvnor]

All our sympathies from Ann and I.
