Toxic Shock and Sepsis

Sorry to hear this CF, it’s a nightmare situation and so frustrating. I lost my Dad last year, lung cancer that metastasized to the bone and brain, they put him on a trial treatment that was actually shrinking the tumors, which sounds good, but it took such a toll on him that it ended up killing him. 9 months of pure misery, in retrospect it would have been far better to have let nature take its course and have palliative treatment.

A friend had a similar experience, except her Dad had dementia and had no idea he was riddled with cancer, he never suffered until the final week.

Sometimes the treatment causes more pain and anguish than the disease itself, hard to accept as you want to try everything you can, but the thing that makes me really sad about my Dad, apart from losing him of course, is the suffering he endured, which in hindsight was a waste of time.

Life can be so cruel…
