My husband is dying of liver cancer.  He is Stage 4 and is not a candidate for chemotherapy.  He is on hospice but last week I couldn't bear watching him slip away so I took him to a different hospital hoping to get a second opinion.  His kidneys were shutting down but with IV fluids they managed to get him back talking and eating.  Now a week later he is back home on hospice and the news is still the same.  The doctors say there is nothing more they can do.  He has not urinated now in over 24 hours, barely eating and his voice is shaky.  He told me yesterday when he is gone to take care of myself which made me cry.  This is so difficult and I have no support from his family who are in denial that he is dying.
