My dad was diagnosed with colon cancer spread to the liver lung and lymph nodes in October.
They were lookig to start him on chemo but he's to unwell for this .
This last week he has deteriorated massively and for the last few days bleeding constantly from his back passage.
Does anyone know anyone who can advise what is the best for dad .
Mum wants him to go to ashgate ..is the end coming sooner rather than later ?
Th ey have been we have had the emergency doc out twice on fri mornig 3am and then again around 11 am hence the discussion of ashgate ..luckily my sister in law is medically trained so she can clean him thoroughly when the carers are not around ... he's been prescribed some tablets supposedly to slow it down but it's not really doing anything ...
She's been twice tonight as I can't do it alone .and mum is in her early 70s so not strong enough to help .
Friday night he wasn't as bad with the bleeding
But thank you for replying
