My dad is 67, turns 68 Feb 5th. He has non-small cell lung cancer and AML. He decided to do no treatment, and he has been told he has less than 6 months. He's refusing hospice, and as his daughter that lives in the home with him, all the responsibility is put on me. He also doesn't want to believe his pain is from the cancer. He believes he might not die or is hopeful he won't. This has been very hard to deal with. Any advice would be helpful.

Thank you for watching! I'm sorry to hear about your father's diagnosis. Being a caregiver in this situation is a big responsibility and can feel very overwhelming. We have several articles/events on caregiving that might be helpful. Reach out to me at [e-mail] and I can share those resources with you!
