End of life

Hi

I'm so very sorry to hear that your husband's cancer has spread to his brain. It must be an incredibly tough time for you both.

I'm not sure that anyone, other than your husband's team, will be able to advise you if chemo would be beneficial for your husband or not but you could join and post this question in the secondary brain tumours group as the people over there may have the experience you need. Clicking on the link I've created will take you straight there where you can post once you've joined.

Sending you both a supportive ((((hug))))

When my mother was in the same situation as your husband, we elected to go with the chemo until she no longer felt good and then stopped it. The doctors said she could stop at any time and that is what we did. Her and our goal was to maximize time as long as she still had quality of life. When the quality of life wasn't there, we stopped and let nature take its course. 

Although not asked, hospice care was a god send during that final month. They helped my mother stay at home and not die in a hospital setting which was her wish. They were available 24 hours a day and we simply had to make a phone call which we did. When she passed away, they came out to help arrange things so we could just focus on being with each other. We had an initial consultation with hospice while my mother was still taking chemo but she couldn't officially sign up and get benefits until she had stopped the chemo later. But it was nice to have everything in place so that when that day came, the transition was quick and hassle free.

Best wishes
