Question:
Answers:
Good for you for stepping up and wanting to help. Here are some suggestions:
Housework (laundry, dishes, vacumming, dusting ect)
Cooking (if your old enough)
Your dad will be very tired and weak. If you have any younger siblings you could help keep them quiet and enteratined.
If you worried about money isses you could get little jobs in the neighboorhood (walking dogs, yard work, paper route ect)
Just help in anyway you can cooking,cleaning.etc.
can you cook, clean, do laundry, make your Dad as comfortable as possible ? If not get help...(and it's Chemo and radiation..stomach)
If your Mom is around she needs to help too. If not get family or friends involved...make sure you have some help of some kind, you can't do it all by yourself...
[[[[ ]]]] I'm so sorry...
Been there!!
Remember all the things he use to do around the
house, whatever it is even if it's just taking out garbage,
whatever household chores he did to help your mom
out you do instead. Believe me he will notice and be
very proud of you!! If you are old enough cut grass and do
yard work. Hang in there, chemo is no fun but it saves lives
I know I live with a cancer survivor.
There are lots of things you can do to help. Any of the daily chores, cooking, laundry, cleaning, dishes, making beds, etc. Everything you do helps. Your mom will probably be the primary caregiver for your father, and your help with the small things will help them both immensely.
Very Sorry to hear that. I have been through it. If you can
cook, you can do that and clean the house and make sure
he has plenty of fluids, when he asks for something, bring it
to him. Being there for him counts most of all and telling
him how much you love him.
My prayers are with you.
Help him to pick up things that may be to heavy for him ,since he will be undergoing chemotherapy and will be temporarily weakened...also go to the store and get him the newspaper and any other thing he may need.but more than anything talk with him, joke with him,spend time with him...watch tv or something with him. keep his spirits up...Take him out to a restaraunt with freinds and family.remind others to visit often. pets can also help a lot. Maybe he wants a hat or cap since he will be losing some hair. God bless you all !!
cook for him go and do the grocery shopping with his money, make his bed
That is so nice that you are willing to help out. Lots of jobs are everywhere to be done if you simply look around. First of all ask him, what he would like you to do. He probably has priorities of what makes him feel better if done. Then of course the usual daily maintenance. I wonder if you are able to shop and cook. God Bless you during this difficult time.
