I'm so sorry. While not as sudden as what you're going through, my dad started a pretty significant decline in may of 2015 and passed in November of that year. I was also pregnant, and it was extremely sad and stressful. If you need anything or want to vent, I'm happy to help in anyway I can. Big hugs.
I am so very sorry. My dad died 3 years ago this Sunday due to complications from lung cancer (to put it simply). I was also pregnant. Please lean on us however you need; you will be in my thoughts.
I'm so sorry. DHs uncle has cancer that metastasized to his brain and was given 3-6 months, it's been 8. While he is t going strong he is still able to get around and is doing normal day to day things.

I'm so, so sorry. My dad passed away 4 years ago due to stage IV lung cancer, but he actually lived over a year longer than expected. It sucks so bad and life just isn't fair. I know I'm just an Internet stranger, but please feel free to message me if you ever want to talk, vent, etc. ((hugs))

I'm so sorry. A friend's mom had the same diagnosis after a decade of fighting breast and lung cancer and she actually hung on for another 3 years. I am honking good thoughts for your Dad and your family.

I'm so sorry, rosebud . I don't post here much, but I'm in a similar position (I'm pg and my dad has esophageal cancer & is going downhill fast) so if you ever want someone to talk to, please feel free to reach out. I know all too well how this can be so horribly sad and mind-numbing all at the same time.
Do you think he'll want treatment or just ride it out? Would he be up for moving? I don't fault you one bit for wanting him near you, and IME being far away when they're undergoing treatment sucks for everyone.
I am so sorry rosebud. My dad died from lung cancer in 2011 after a 4.5 year battle. It spread to his brain too. It sucks so much. My son is named after him, and it makes me sad that they never got to meet. Sometimes I see a bit of my dad in my son in random ways, like M is obsessed with "checking" the tires on my car (he is 2 LOL).
But yeah, it is just so so hard. Big hugs to you and your family. Feel free to PM me if you want to talk. I don't have any special insights but am happy to be a listening ear.
