Hi everyone,
Can I please ask for some reassurance as I do not know how to deal with this.
My brother was diagnosed with Colon Cancer 3 years ago, it was removed and a Stoma bag fitted, this cannot be reversed, March 23 my brother had an operation to remove the Cancer in his Liver which unfortunately didn't work, and July 23 he was diagnosed with new solitary 11mm Liver metastasis with progressive lung nodules.
The reason for my post today is that May 24 we were told that his Cancer was terminal, and he was given approx. 8 months but less than a year, he decided he was not going to have any more Chemo, the doctors advised me they would not be seeing him at the hospital anymore and to go home and live the best he can, I was to call when the time was right to have Palliative care, I am struggling because I don't know what signs I am meant to look out for, when is the right time, he has also been diagnosed with advanced COPD. I don't know where to go from here as Im struggling too, although I don't let him know. Does anybody have any advise for me ?
