That's shit mate, I lost my old man to one a couple of years ago. One comfort is that even until the end, he wasn't in any pain and when when it finally came, it came quickly. Make the most of the time you've got with him and all the best.
Not only have I had lots of exchange with your Dad on Charlton Life - but even met him a couple of times and he has been very kind to me. He's a lovely bloke.
If you are able, please pass on my best wishes to him.
Oh bugger, sorry to hear that Jimmy85. Even if your Dad can't come home for palliative care, would release to a hospice be possible? At least that way, he'll be in a less institutional environment, while still getting the care he needs. Best wishes to you all
Jimmy, I don't know you or your dad, but my heart goes out to both of you as well as the rest of your family. Always hope for that miracle but if his time has come, I hope for all your sakes that it is peaceful and dignified. Thinking of you mate.
Hi @JiMMy 85 i'm so sorry to read the latest update mate.
Nothing i can to what the others have said and we've discussed privately, but just to reiterate your dad has been a member on here for 7 years now, making over 3,000 contributions. He is a liked and respected member of this community and if there is anything whatsoever we can collectively try and do / arrange that he might appreciate, please let us know.
My wonderful mother in law has had a brain tumour for a while now, following on from breast cancer and missed during scans due to incompetence I'm afraid to say.
She also has trouble swallowing and is fed through a tube and drips. She was misdiagnosed again and had to have some vocal cords removed, which didn't need to happen.
She has had pneumonia since Christmas. She is a former Sister at the Royal Marsden and has spent her life helping others in the same position, it's the one thing she didn't want to get.

Again, my thoughts are with you fellow Addick.
Try to keep talking to your dear Dad about all the good times your family have had together & the memories created will never go away.
Thinking of you at this difficult time.
And to red_murph , another heart rending story . SO cruel.
