Seems like we are entering the last weeks, maybe even days...

I've posted here a couple of times now and we have had help from the palliative care nurse coming to see us once a week. 

Dad has stage 4 pancreatic which has spread to his lungs, liver and bowel. It now seems to have spread further as his Lymph Nodes are swollen in his neck and are now rock hard. 

The last few weeks he has been eating alot less and 2 weeks of jaundice which has now worsened further. He's spending alot more time sleeping but up until today has been getting up on his own. He has also been getting confused and l his memory. And also been getting weaker. 

Now I ask - he seems to now have swelling in his ankles and hands? This has made him unsteady also which doesn't help when he is now feeling weaker.

His urine has also gone nearly black? 

Does anyone have any experiences with this? From what I've read online it just says about it being an advanced cancer symptom etc 

  • Hi , I'm sorry to hear how your dad is. It's a devastating disease but nowhere is there specific information on last days. You might like to ask the nurse as she can give you some expert advice. Sorry I can't be of more help. 

    Love and hugs,
