Very serious Question How do you cope with such news?

Sorry to hear this awful news.
It’s important that you both stay as positive as possible.
Manuka honey everyday might help.
Fight the bastard C for as long as you can. 👍
 
Beds,

So sorry to read about this. I lost my Dad 2 years ago almost, to the same sickening disease. Spend as much time with him as is practically possible, or call him every day....that's about the only advice I can give. His passing will be inevitable (as will everyone's!), and you can learn to deal with that now so it's not a shock come the dreadful day.

Take care mate, you can always contact me using Messenger or Zoom if you want to chat.
 
very sorry to hear this - I guess is the kinda of news that we all dread to hear - I often think how people decide about how you make decisions and what do practically wise too??? I live in Brazil with a young family - would I stop working and go and be with my father for the remaining time ???

How did you make the decison of if and when etc...

I feel so fortunate that as of now myself and my family have not suffered too much with illness and death


anyways I hope you can enjoy these final months with him... and it seems that many on here have experienced the same and I am sure will continue to support you when needed
 
Op I’m very sorry to hear this.

Luckily I still have both my parents but my 13 year old daughter was diagnosed with cancer in July and it hit like a sledgehammer, I honestly didn’t know how I would move forward from 1 day to the next but 2 months and 3 rounds of chemo in you find coping mechanisms.

It really does bring home how precious life is
 
So sorry to hear this. I suspect many of us have been there in different ways. Is your dad able to to travel while the weather is still half decent? Kings Meaburn plus dogs sounds like a really good recipe. Only thing from my experience, though not always easy to find the right occasions: if you have any questions ask them; if there is anything you want to say, say it. Thinking of you. All the best.

I can’t begin to give any advice Beds but my heart goes out to you and yours - genuinely. There is some great advice already posted from those who have experienced similar.

One of the strengths of avftt is that the majority (?) of us recognise that behind the keyboard is a person who just happens to be a fellow pool fan. We disagree, argue and all the rest of it but none of us are that different when you strip away all our protective layers. We all have sh*t that life throws at us and we can do f**k all to change.

What i am trying to say is i think this is always a place we can come to for support on pretty much anything really and the varying degrees of anonymity we enjoy may help with that.

All the best pal.
