You don't need to be an 'investor' to invest in Singletrack: 6 days left: 95% of target - Find out more
In a previous post I shared about my brother in law who has been dealing with lung cancer for 20 months now. With targeted treatment, we thought he was getting on ok until about 6 weeks ago. However, after removing fluid from around his heart then he is still with us.
However, he ended up back on hospital again last week with shortness of breath, etc. Treated for chest infection.
Unfortunately, earlier today his oncologist suggested that he now needs palliative care. TBH, he may have known this was coming as he has become quite firm in terms of 'plans' and has said he is now very tired.
He really is a brave, strong and nice gentleman.
We have no idea how things will evolve in the near future, but life feels a bit sh1t at this moment 🙁
Been there, t-shirt, etc. My Mum died of lung cancer. It's a very poor prognosis. Not sure what to suggest other than making his remaining time as enjoyable as can be. And keep smiling, as hard as that sounds, but life ultimately goes on.
Desperately sorry to hear that Benz.
Just reading that jolted me out of a pitiful woe is me moment.
I hope whatever the near future brings your family is able to find a way through it.
He does indeed sound like a brave guy as I don't know how on earth I would face upto hearing such news.
All the best my friend.
At some point.. Life runs up and kicks you right in the balls. You don't usually get much warning. Stay strong #uck cancer.
In the nicest and most respectful way possible....take some video of/with him. I lost both my parents early and I would dearly love to have more video of them, especially with their voice.
All the best brother. 🙂
My mate is at the same stage but is in total denial of the seriousness and hasn't started planning,entered a half marathon last night/talks of more surgery etc; I have no right at all to question that approach as I would probably be the same so I lift my kilt to your BiL. It really is shite.
Shit. That sucks Benz.
I can't offer more than a man-hug and the same advice as above. I wish I had taken more time to talk to my dad, maybe record conversations with him when he was stronger, just spent more time with him. There's never enough time though.
Can’t add much but wish you all well.
