Diagnosis.

Best wishes to you both from me rubylady and a hug for you . Just take advice and you will be doing the best for your dad.

rubylady . I think you can only be guided by the doctors and your instincts. His quality of life is the most important thing as you say. I'm sure you'll make the right decisions (((hugs)))

So sorry you have to go through this. No advice but sending hugs.

and (((hugs))) rubylady
You're a remarkably resilient lady, a brilliant mum and daughter. Keep asking the hospital team questions, and you could try helplines such as MacMillan and the Alzheimer's Society too.
I hope your father recovers quickly.
Take care of yourself too, x

Many of us on GN have been through and are going through difficult times with our parents. You sound like a wonderful daughter and Mum, I hope you are taking care of yourself too.
I hope your Dad recovers well from the operation and can soon leave hospital. Where will he go when he is discharged?

I send you hugs rubylady.

rubylady - this is a difficult situation for you. I think the only thing you can do is be guided by the medical team and discuss the situation with them, at length if necessary.

I don't know what LPA is but I think that you are your dad's main carer so it's very hard for you.

Having been very close to cancer and dementia in the last few years and having been the main carer on two occasions, I learnt to ask for support where ever I could find it.

This situation is potentially exhausting for you, so ask lots of questions, see what help is there and try to rest (as you are doing) when ever you can - lots of hugs, stay strong.
