Hi,
sorry I don’t really know where to put this or what stage my grandfather is at. He’s 90 so doctors have said surgery is out of the question it would be to invasive for him. So at the moment he’s doing quiet well but the thought of food is making him feel sick, I’m doing little and often but he’s also not drinking a great deal, which I’m getting 1.5 litre of squash into him a day this past week as now I need to see him everyday, due to him not eating or drinking if I wasn’t around.
I think it’s end of life care and what to expect this cancer to do and also I probably just need some support as well.
