Hi 

My father has been unwell and I have done all the right things taken his te doctors. The hospital etc

In a space of 3 month he has lost over 5 stone looking at him he's just a skeleton with skin and it's breaking my heart. 

They found a tumour in his throat and advised me to expect the worst... what does that mean....

So I originally took him due to two at least 8cm lunps in his neck and they have take biopsies. They also found the tumour in his throat and explained if it grew he would need a tracheotomy... 

Do he's had two biopsies mri scan and CT scan. So just awaiting results.

My dilemma is he continues to lose weight and now he's confused forgetting things and I am afraid to leave him.on his own. 

Deep down  I know he has cancer but I'm not sure what stage or whether he is terminal...

My heart is breaking because its a two week wait for all the results and honestly in 7 days he's got so worse I don't think he's going to be here. 

So although I know I my dad is dying I want him to be comfortable to be able to swallow water and not choke. I want him to be pain free he's half the man he was.

I can't get any help because he doesn't have a diagnosis and the pandemic is not helping.

Any advice is so acceptable and appreciated 

Jo
