My husband's cancer was becoming resistant to the chemo. He has stage 4 colorectal cancer with mets in the lungs and liver. Before he could start the new chemo he developed sepsis. He started to recover then sepsis struck again..then again with dehydration too. He's so tired spending most of the day in bed. He has no interest in anything. It's nye on impossible to get him to drink or eat enough. He has Ensure drinks and I'm amazing myself at all the morsels and drink types I offer but hes due a ct scan tomorrow and says he doesnt feel well enough. The scan is to show what's happening with the cancer. I know there's a chance he may never be well enough to restart chemo but feel we need to know what's going on. He's passing blood every day. I've had the community palliative care nurse in today but is there more I should or could be doing? Ive virtually given up work. We dont have carers and heard nothing from the district nurses yet. Is this the beginning of the end??
