Hi everyone. 
 

I'm caring for my 71yr old dad at home. He has prostate cancer that has spread to his bones. He is on palliative care, and mum and I are trying to do the best we can. 
He was discharged from hospital on 18th Jan 2022 into palliative care, and I have been watching him daily.

I have no idea what to expect, or how much longer he has (I know there is no definitive answer here). His breathing varies from shallow to numerous bouts of apnea. He can stop breathing for up to 30 seconds, and then catch it and start again. 
He is on a catheter, and his urine has now gone dark brown with some clots in (the nurses say this is normal). He hasn't eaten in nearly a month, but still drinks water. 
His mind wanders quite a lot, and he sleeps nearly 22 hours a day. 
 

Can anyone help me with their experiences of what is happening? 
 

Thank you
