Big hugs @Anastasia 😔💕
Yes, there does come a time where quality of life needs to be considered. Do you spend the rest of your life having debilitating cancer treatment, and unable to enjoy what's left? Or do you say ... I've tried, but now its time to make the most of whatever time I have left ... so lets pursue that bucket list!
It needs to be your Dads decision, but I expect he may seek input from loved ones. How old is your Dad?
I feel very honoured that you have told me. I know it wont be easy telling either your bf nor either of your boys.
Of course you are sad ... it is overwhelming news to get. But I know you will support both your dad and mum as much as you can over coming months and years. Have they given a life expectancy without further treatment? They are often wrong you know.
I have an earlier treatment time tomorrow ... 9.40am. They knew I was staying on site this week so its easier to be there earlier. Its only about a 50 meter walk, via pedestrian crossings through hospital carpark, to the cancer centre. So its very convenient. The accommodation is really nice actually. They charge a lesser rate for people here for cancer treatment. But are also open to the public if there are rooms available. They gave me a ground floor room in case I had to bring hubby along if I couldnt get anyone to stay with him. So there are rails and shower chair etc in the bathroom, and no stairs and all flat paved paths from the carpark.
Your dads news is going to hit you really hard over coming days @Anastasia ... the news does sound bad. But there is still hope, so dont give up on him yet. What a blessing that he was able to celebrate your birthday nearly 3 weeks ago. 🌷
Much love to you. And remember that I am right beside you. There to give you a hug or a shoulder to cry on when you need it.
Emelia 🌹
