My husband has terminal duodenal cancer. He is at home as per his request and being nursed in bed by me, on various drugs via a syringe driver for his comfort. He has been agitated but is now just sleeping, not eating or drinking n seems to get smaller n frailer everyday. The palliative care team are brilliant n very kind n the district nurses come everyday to change to refill the drugs n are very supportive, but how long can this continue? It’s heartbreaking n exhausting. Thanks for any advice.
