It's disturbing how quick you can go from diagnosis to death- my dad lasted two to three weeks from symptoms and diagnosis of acute myeloid leukaemia to dying. In some ways at least it shortens the suffering, but at the same time it's hard to adjust and take stock of what's happening. Very sad news.

It's so sad how fast it can happen. I only hope that he and his family spent a lot of time together over the last few months.
