Hi,
New to all this and not really sure what to write, we found out by chance 2 weeks ago that dad who lives with us he’s 85, has liver lesions which the consultant believes are metastatic liver cancer ,it was found after his face swelled up and was admitted to hospital then had a CT scan, they will not perform a biopsy as dad has short term memory loss and they said let him live out the rest of his life in a comfortable way, and they won’t give him chemo or radiotherapy, we feel we need answers and we’re trying to care for him alone which Dad is finding hard as getting in and out of bed is a struggle and also in these two weeks he’s become progressively worse he’s not eating a lot and is shuffling now when he gets up to walk we take him everywhere in a wheelchair does anyone have any ideas or has been threw this as we’re at a loss as of what to do or where to turn if this makes sense we don’t even no if there is a chance the consultant may have gotten it wrong.
Hi The Family
Sorry to hear about your father. Perhaps the only really practical thing I can suggest is to ask if he has had a needs assessment and at the same time you might like to get a carers assessment too.
