Recently my father had been unwell at first he was told it was a virus however as it progressed he backs increasingly weak eventually we were advised to take him to hospital where it was discovered he had low platelets. He had been anemic as well as diabetic for over 20 years he had a blood transfusion showed massive improvement and was sent home on orders to return for a bone marrow biopsy which was done on Monday. He’s gained weight since coming out of hospital and loosing quite a lot with being unwell. I’m petrified that he has an awful illness or disease that is going to kill him the doctor said it could be up to 30 things that caused this sudden dip. I’m trying to stay optimistic but feel myself breaking under the pressure as I’m on my own with him most days

Hi Meyer.
I am so sorry your father is ill. You will find out and they will start to be able to help him. Even if it is something serious , he could feel well and go living well for years.
I will be thinking of you both. I send you ❤️ and the very best wishes. Keep posting to let us know.
Thank you so so so much for your reply I certainly will I mean he’s 74 that’s what worries me and I’m just so scared and am looking for some reassurance
You are welcome.

And illness in anyone we love is scary.

Keep us posted.
We are here for you.
I know how you feel. I was the only caregiving of my father. My mother and siblings won’t help him, so I did alone for many years, being abused by them. In the end my father told me I was the light of his life, thank you for keeping me alive, and held me in his arms telling me how much he loved me. But one thing I know dr, tell you wrong things before the tests results come in, it happened many time for usMost of the time they were wrong, so keep your hope up, everything will be find, or they’ll have something to help him.❤️
