Hope everyone is going well. My week is just hit rock bottom. We got some of dad's results back today and its not good. They include:-
1. He can't look after himself i.e. shower himself, get out of bed etc so looks like he will eventually need to go into a nursing home.
2. They have discovered he has advanced prostate cancer and they are 90% sure its gone into his bones.
There is treatment they can give him but will only give him better quality of life. They still need to do more MRI scans and tests but basically there is no cure. We need to see the specialist on Monday to find out more and what we need to do going forward but it is really just a matter of time.

Oh hon, this is terrible news and I am really sorry to read this. I wish you and your family the very best during this time and you need a great big hug!
my prayers are with you and your dad.
This is very sad for you all Carlton. Make sure you find the time to talk to your dad and make the most of every moment. sending hugs your way.
My thoughts are with you as you are confronted with your Dad's health issues. At times like this it is certainly 'one step at a time'. I was facing very similar things this time last year and know how stressful and emotional this time will be for you. I hope you have people who are supportive close by.
Take care

Thinking of you Carlton. So sorry things are not good for your Dad. Be there for him, give him love and remember to take care of yourself. Your mum is your angel and she is with you, watching over you and your Dad. Hugs, Rainbow
