My father has advanced bowel cancer and is now nearing the end of his life . He has had difficulty accepting his illness and has never talked about it pushing to the back of his mind since his diagnosis over six years ago . As a family we are having to care and support him but are finding it increasingly difficult as he is reluctant to engage with the palliative care team . When they ask how he’s feeling he says he’s fine and it is quite apparent that he is not . He is also becoming very agitated and getting cross about things very quickly. He has no appetite and sleeps for long periods . We are worried about how to manage this situation sensitively without upsetting him and just hope that he can be made to feel comforts in his final days /weeks . Any advice would be greatly appreciated. Thank you
