Is he dying

Hi there, 

 

I know it's a stupid post but, I lost my dad 8 weeks ago, now kids dad is showing same signs, his been getting weaker and weaker, his lost half a stone in 10 days , not eating, hardly drinking, I'm keeping hydrated through a feeding tube( put in last week due to list of weight) his now messing himself (wee and poo) been having kemo for cardiac amyloidosis, but treatment stopped 6weeks ago due to dangerous low blood pressure and then to prepare for peg in place.

his just so frial, he had been having clammy  sweats yesterday, no temperature thou, feet are freezing and purple Bloch.

im at my witts end now, his getting worse day by day, same as my dad , but he can still talk( dad had brain cancer) and just keeps bringing up bile.

ive call mc million nurse today on the urgent number to talk about it but had no response 

I have 4 children at home and there sencing something, 

I just need to know what I'm up against and prepare my children if this is the end of his life.

please could some one responded and let me know if they have experience any like this 

I just need some sort of reassurance

  • Firstly it isn't a stupid post.. sorry u are going threw a difficult time but ur not alone... my inbox is open on here if u would like to talk... my dad has terminal prostate cancer and his has spread round his body and is in the first stages of passing I think as he is sleeping quite alot... and even eating is tiring him out... I don't know if I'm helping or not but keep trying the nurses or even phone the doctors if u don't get any joy... I think the best thing to do is speak to ur children nd try and explain whats going on to them... I hope this has helped a.little if not I'm.sorry easier said than done... but try nd keep strong xxxxx
