Hello Forumites,
I finally found the right forum to post this.
My wife got a diagnosis of Stage IV Signet Ring Adenocarcinoma last month, nothing to be done, so I brought her home, engaged Hospice, and I'm waiting for the end. On 24 November they said she had two weeks left, and that date slipped by a week ago. Each day she's weaker, of course, her pain is very well managed, but she's having a terrible time with the nausea/vomiting despite meds. The staff at the hospital and our Hospice nurse have remarked about her resilience and spirit, she really is a tough, strong lady. In my early 20's my father and I nursed my mother through her last days (everything imaginable but cancer) and in my mid-20's I nursed my dad through cancer, so this is my third go-'round with this type of thing. My employer and my coworkers have been supportive beyond any reasonable expectation, so there's that blessing.
My apologies for my randomness in this posting, just wanted to reach out to some folks that understand.
