Dad will be discharged on the 24 or 25 April and will head home.
He's made the (brave) decision to not have any more surgery on his tumours and let the cancer run its course. No one is sure how long he has left. The throat tumour has grown in size since it was last looked at a few weeks ago, so it may not be long.
We went to visit Mum together last weekend and he found that really hard as he is now seeing just how ill she is. He also found it hard that she cannot understand that he's dying and she cannot show compassion or empathy.
He's had to deal head on with lots of stuff this weekend - Mum's deterioration, his own illness and the mess that their finances are in. It's been really tough.
But it's all out there now and we can start working with it and coming to terms with it in our own ways.
If you get a chance to visit, Dad would love it. But please, make it soon.....
