strawb 3660 Posted February 14, 2022 Share Posted February 14, 2022 Pretty shite day tbh. My old man has been having on going treatment for bowel cancer for 4 years. All seemed to be going well but he recently hasn’t been doing too well and today he decided to stop all further treatment. Seems a weird thing to say but proud of him making what is the right (if painful) decision, it should be pretty quick now and his pain can be managed. If something doesn’t feel right get it checked out, I know some of you enjoy having your arseholes played with but even those that don’t. 10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Craig 6307 Posted February 14, 2022 Share Posted February 14, 2022 Really sorry to hear that. My Dad had bowel cancer about 10 years ago, It's a massively brave decision to come to, I hope they can control and manage his pain so you're able to make the most of the time you have.

Renton 17800 Posted February 14, 2022 Share Posted February 14, 2022 I'm not going to lie to you you're in for a hard time. You know this of course. Make the most of the time you have together and making sure he has a good a death as possible. Going through my Dad's stuff at the minute is hard but has to be done. He never had a chance to prepare for his death, even though it took ages, as confusion set in too soon. As hard as it is, it is better to get your affairs in order before rather than after though I think. Good luck mate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
strawb 3660 Posted February 14, 2022 Share Posted February 14, 2022 Cheers all. He has everything sorted and has for a while, he likes to be prepared. So mainly making sure he isn’t in any pain, but with the amount of oromorph he is on, he is probably having a great time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Monkeys Fist 38781 Posted February 14, 2022 Share Posted February 14, 2022 So sorry to hear about your old man Strawb I can sympathise with you- my old man decided against treatment as his was too far gone, it’s awful thinking about him having to make that choice, but as you say- I was very proud of him when he did.

PaddockLad 14605 Posted February 14, 2022 Share Posted February 14, 2022 Sorry to hear Strawb… same with my old man, once he (eventually, am still “very disappointed “ with the way two GPs treated him) got his diagnosis I think he just thought he’d had enough..

My dad died early this morning, waiting for a nurse visit to confirm etc. I have been here for the last week helping my mam care for him and I’m glad I was as it happened relatively quickly, he was a good man. 9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Craig 6307 Posted March 15, 2022 Share Posted March 15, 2022 Feeling a bit shit. One of the lads I went to school with took his own life yesterday. I don't know the details of how, nor do I want to but reading his final facebook post is harrowing and demonstrates the torment he was evidently going through. He's the third person I know to have done it. Doesn't get any easier. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have known a couple of lads from my school do the same - one of them I knew in both primary and high school in fact, not that we were close. It is unsettling indeed.
