My father was diagnosed 4 weeks ago with Liver cancer which unfortunately had spread to his lungs , he's been told that due to underlying medical conditions ( emphysema and cirrhosis) and the aggresive nature of the disease that there is no treatment available apart from palliative care, with the oncologist saying that his life expectancy was a maximum of 3 months

His wish was to be nursed at home , which we as a family agreed to and have been giving him round the clock care since he left hospital almost 3 weeks ago.

His  well being seems to be veering between very good to poor almost daily , he has problems breathing and is on oxygen for 18 hours a day and he is becoming frailer , however today for instance he is sitting up , eating ice cream and generally looking a lot better than he has done, 

I dont really know what the question is I want to ask, I and the rest of the family, due to the fact that he is extremely medicated and he is at home, have no idea as to what is happening to him, sometimes we think he has weeks, sometimes I can see him surviving months, I am sure that this is not a new occurence to sufferers of this condittion, but could anyone share their experience with me , they not knowing what to expect is the worst thing

Thank you
