Dad has been in hospital for nearly 4 months. Multiple procures, tests, scan, 2 aspiration pneumonia, 3 ng tube, 1 jtube and now a rigg. Esophagus cancer, inoperable, incurable, very large mass. He now has a partially collapsed lung and pneumonia again - dr says they only have 1 antibiotic left to try and he has been on previous antibiotics for long periods. Dr said today Dad has weeks left. He was meant to go to valindre and start chemo, but is now too weak to do so, starting could risk his death sooner.
Does anyone have a similar situation? Experience of pallative care and what to expect??
Thank you
