My dad is end of life (I think) is this normal?

Hi NIkkiS

so sorry to hear about what your dad is going through.

My personal experience lies in supporting my husband with his Stage 4 brain tumour journey so I can't fairly comment on what your dad is experiencing.

I'd suggest you call his medical team or family GP and explain your concerns. You could also call the MacMIllan Helpline and ask to speak to a nurse. The number is below.

love n hugs

I’m so sorry to hear about your father.

do you have everything you need at home.

I found a combination of the GP getting district nurses and the local hospice to help was the best thing in the final weeks.

they came every day. We had a bedroom downstairs and intimate care and washing each day. Sadly this final days only lasted about ten days but we sat with dad constantly and I have never regretted being there every minute possible.

I send you hugs for the days shead

I'm sitting here with my Dad in hospital during his end of life care. Your situation sounds similar to his - not eating etc. He was diagnosed about 8 weeks ago, we had no idea it would be so soon. 

It's been a while since you posted so hope things have gob as well as could be expected. It's a lovely old place isn't it? Take care x

I am so sorry to hear you are going through the same.  I wasn’t really prepared for what cancer does to a persons body.  He found it hard to move his mouth toward the end so communication was quite difficult. I wish I’d been prepared for this and we would have got notepads and pens ready.  Although the was so exhausted it would have been hard to write, but I could see his frustration in not being heard.  

sending you all my love, strength and hugs xxx
