Hi all.

My partner has terminal lung & kidney cancer. The last few weeks he is sleeping much more and eating next to nothing. The last 2 days he's lay in bed & hes not eating & not speaking & I honestly do not know what to do. Im so worried about him & I feel totally helpless.  What can I do?

Many thanks.
