2 months ago my dad was diagnosed with Lung cancer, and we went to london to seek medical treatment. untill now, all we got is that his condition is so serious, and he'll die because of the cancer.
everyone in my family knew about the condition, just my 27 yeard old sister (his Daughter). the problem is that she's diabetic, and if she got depressed, she will have a poisonous substance in her blood, and she'll need to stay in the hospital to take 3 bags of some kind of iv, or a drip.. im not sure what is it.. to clear her blood.
she's so emotional, she could cry for an hour if she just saw a sick dog.
when we first left to london, she thought he was going to treat some kind of back pain, not cancer. now i dont know what to do.

I feel for you, I really do, and I'm so sorry about your dad. I lost my dad to lung cancer. Not sure I understand the part about your sister's diabetes. I'm diabetic, but your sister must have some other illness as well, that causes the poison substances to go in her blood. All I can suggest is to have a word with her doctor and ask their advice about what to do after you have told your sister about your dad. There's no easy way to give anyone bad news, but it's best the doctor knows the situation in advance and will hopefully help you to tell your sister. My dad was being treated for a virus, went into hospital for further tests and when my brother brought him home, my brother called me out the back. He said : "It's like this, our dad has cancer, he's dying". Tact was never one of his stronger points. I lost my dad 3 weeks later. It must be so hard for you, trying to come to terms with losing your dad and being worried about your sister at the same time. I wish I could give you some magic words. I can guarantee that everyone who answers your question, sincerely, will be thinking about you and wishing you all the luck in the world. Take care......EVIL TROLL IS REPORTED

This is a terrible, terrible situation. My condolences to you. Some one is going to have to set down and tell his daughter that he is dying of cancer. Be prepared to take her to the hospital, but remind her that she needs to try to remain strong for his sake. Maybe the doctor can give her some medication for depression. You could ask a priest, or a pastor to help a family member tell her about her father. If you don't belong to a church, every hospital has a pastor that can talk with her. I'm sorry, I just realized that you are also his daughter, stay strong sweetheart. Have you tried the Mayo Clinic. I do know that they have a great cancer center in Houston, Texas, I'm just unsure what the name is, if it's a Mayo Clinic . I would seek a second opinion, maybe you could spare his life. Keep trying sweetie

Father Earl that's merciless you disguise the actuality. all of us understand which you do not opt to tell the undesirable information to your mom and worsen her wellness yet do you already know the actuality that ordinary you mom questioning that your Dad does not love her anymore makes her wellness worst than telling her the actuality.

Does your country have hospice care? Over here, you can contact a hospice to get in touch with counselors who will help with just this kind of question.
