No good mate, chin up.
I wasn’t overly close to my dad but it still hurts.

That sucks dude. I had an uncle who died of a very agressive bowel cancer. The main advice i csn give is make the most of your time with him. Wishing you and your family all the best.

Second your thoughts re: Peter Mac. Was there for 5 weeks at the start of the year (for placement) and the amount of care and compassion the clinicians have for the patients has only been rivalled by those in NICU at the RWH.
To Paz: Really sorry to hear mate. My uncle is in a similar position to your old man and it’s pretty horrible to watch. Hope you get to spend as much time with him over the coming months as is possible.

Dear @pazza
I wish you all the best.
It will be hard.
Life is so cruel sometimes.
That’s why we must savour the ups and get through the downs because although it doesn’t make it any easier, it gives us meaning.
I truly hope you get through this and can smile on the other side.
All the best.

No words can ease the mental anguish of seeing a loved one suffering mentally and physically. Life is at times so challenging and we wonder what we or our loved one has done to be treated so cruelly.
Virtual hugs to you, your dad and family @pazza.

Best wishes in these tough times, pazza.
Agree with Perce - Peter Mac is the best place in Australia to find specialist cancer treatment.
So sorry to hear @pazza. My mother took the assisted dying option when the pain got to be too much from her cancer. It is a terrible thing to have to watch happening to those you love. I can only say that it hurts, it comes back and hits you at unexpected moments, but life goes on. Make the most of the time you have and remember to let him know what he means to you. All the best to you and your family.

Sorry to hear Pazza. From my experience, I encountered a lot of very special people working at Peter Mac who put their heart into their work which still resonates with me today. I’m confident they will for your father. My heart goes out to him, yourself and family wishing all the best to you through this.

So sorry to hear this, mate. I lost my dad at 62 to Cholangiocarcinoma. 13yrs later the wound is still raw. Please look after yourself in this time. Our time with our loved ones is precious. Sending you a virtual hug.
I’m sorry Paz.
There really isn’t much to add; the subject kinda says everything.
Don’t know anybody who hasn’t been touched by it in some way.
Dad passed away at 3pm today surrounded by family in Palliative care. After 12 long years his pain and suffering is over
