I am very sorry to hear that devastating news.
It must be chastening to see your dad who undoubtedly was an imposing powerful man deteriorate in no time at all. I hope all your family are pulling hard in behind him and you can take some solace in many memories and maybe some more to come in whatever way you can manage this Christmas. Wishing you and your family the best. Leave nothing unsaid.

Sorry to hear that. Thereās no harm in having a bit of hope. People do go into remission and what odds if its false hope, it might brighten the days ahead and thereāll be plenty of time to accept the end if or when it comes.

Iām very sorry to read that @Watchyourtoes. As @croppy_boy says, say everything you want to say, make sure as much as humanly possible that your father is showered with all the love he deserves. Try and leave no regrets on your part. Explore every avenue to try and make him as comfortable as possible. The grief is unavoidable, it has to be endured to ever come to terms with it in the long run.

Not much can be said to that mate. Fucking shit all round. But if there is any silver lining, you have an opportunity to make sure nothing is left unsaid.
FWIW I had a cousin with brain cancer who was told ten years ago time was up and is still with us. Though it has not been an easy road for her either, but they arenāt giving any timeline anymore.
Look after him and look after yourself, and use TFK as an outlet

Life is not easy @Watchyourtoes. Sounds like your Dad has a story or two in him. Ask him one and ask to record him telling the yarn.

Iām very sorry to read that mate. A horrible disease - goes without saying.
Your comment about him saying his driving days are over struck home with me. When my Mam was sick, my auntie who she was caring for had to go into a nursing home. As she left the house she said āgoodbye houseā knowing that she would never return. It broke my heart.
She passed away in September at 95 years of age which is obviously much easier to accept than someone at 60 which is so young. My thoughts are with you.
