Hello,
My dad has kidney cancer which spread to the brain, so we know it is terminal in the sense that there is no cure. He has palliative care nurses in place, and he is still at home with my mum. However, over the past week he has become even weaker, is barely eating/drinking, has no energy, not even enough to wash his hands when he does eventually make it to the bathroom, he's barely talking and is sleeping all the time, just waking up to move if he's not comfortable or to go to the toilet. He is very disorientated and confused too. I just wanted some advice as I'm struggling to understand what should be done. My mum speaks with the nurses/Dr but not that regularly, and I feel like at this stage given he's not eating should he be in hospital to be monitored/put on a drip or something? Any advice appreciated.
