Isn't it awful how a person goes down hill so fast when they're diagnosed with cancer? [I Hate Cancer]

My father in law had a biopsy of a lump in his stomach last Monday, he's already been told its stage 3 cancer and about his treatment plan, however, he got an allergic reaction to whatever dye the used and also an infection, he's developed a cough which might be from the lung cancer, he was taken to hospital in ambulance on Saturday night as he had a high temperature and they then discovered that he has an irregular heart beat also, his temperature still isn't coming down and his cough is getting worse

2 weeks ago he was walking in the mountains for 6 hours a day.. 😱

I don't really know what's worse. My uncle died in January, a year earlier he had 1/3 of his left lung removed after chemo and radiotherapy failed to make significant progress. Three months later tumours were found in his head and by September he was unrecognizable as it affected his personality to the point where he had to take anti-psychotics. Those last months were horrible for everyone as we watched him die a slow and painful death.

I hope you manage to deal with it the best way possible and offer some comfort to your partner who is about to lose his father. Take care
