Hi

I'm so sorry that your father in law is in this situation  & my heart goes out to him & all the family. I can only tell you about the situation I experienced with my husband. This may not proove to be the case with your father in law as every person responds to cancer in their own unique way. My husband had an aggressive cancer with poorly differentiated cells that had spread to various lymph nodes around his body. After his chemotherapy stopped working, he lived for approximately 3 months. During that period he started sleeping more & disengaging from his family, not purposefully,  it was as though his body was slowly shutting down. He was in a certain amount of pain but on the whole it was managed  by increasing his pain relief. As I stated before, your father in law may have a totally different experience. I hope this helps a little & I am so very sorry that this is happening to  you all.
