Evening, on 21 February my dad was taken into hospital with a suspected stroke. Dad has never been ill before. It hit us hard to discover he was diagnosed with having tumours in his brain, lung, liver and in his bones which is not curable. He is very positive and is putting everything into place to look after my mum as he has been her carer for years and says he has no fear of dying. The biopsy results were received later today and as expected it is cancer and the MDT will discuss tomorrow if any treatment can be given so as of yet he has not had any treatment.
Today when my dad woke he was in extreme pain across his shoulders and neck, he went very grey in colour and was not talking, I could then hear my dad being sick in the toilet , which he later.said was just like brown bile. He has been sick numerous time. Our local macmillan team advised to call 999 incase it was sepsis.or an infection. The paramedics assessed dad, his blood pressure was high but said no signs if infection and my dad was feeling a little better. My dad had not eaten anything today at this point (2pm) but then manage to eat 2 slices of toast. That is all he has had today. After they left my dad went down hill again. He is very tired, his voice sounds very hoarse and sore but he said it is not sore, he is not talking and sleeping alot. Is this normal? What do I need to look out for.
We are very new to this as have been lucky that noone has been really ill or have any terminal illnesses before. Would really appreciate your advice.
