I'm so very sorry to hear your sad news... my Dad died of Lung Cancer on the 10th of June two years ago and I know exactly how you feel! :hug:
The Doctors sat him and my Mam down and basically he was told there was nothing more they could do for him... he came out of the room.. looked at my Mam and said "that's great news isn't it"?
My Mam was thinking "did he not just hear what I heard"?
Thing was, he was too scared to hear the truth, so we all decided to let him believe he was going to be OK.
It was never a secret as far as the Doctors were concerned as they had been very upfront with him, but one day a Nurse said something to him about going to the Hospice in Harrolds Cross and he said "sure why would I be going there?... that's where people go to die"
The penny dropped right then and he died weeks later... I honestly believe his hope kept him alive and well... he went downhill so fast after that... I'll always remember speaking to him on the phone that day and I said "Dad... did you really not know"?
He said, "Karen ...I hadn't a F(ing) clue"
Your Dad might not be ready to hear about his prognosis ... if it were me I wouldn't like to know either.
:hug:
