Hi,
my dad was diagnosed with lung cancer and has multiple subcutaneous nodules on his back, underarms and abdomen. The diagnosis came 4 weeks ago.
he has deteriorated very quickly since then and is in high doses of oxycodone for pain and dex was started 1 week ago.
he has had no response to the dex and the hospice want to wean it down which I know means he will continue to deteriorate. He hasn't eaten anything for 2 weeks and just drinks enough to take his meds.
I have moved in with him to take care of him full time and see a change day by day.
I just wondered what I might be able to expect in terms of changes in the coming weeks. I am worried I won't pick up on something important. He doesn't want to go into the hospice and wishes to die at home.
thanks for any experiences you have that might help me, watching the man I love most in the world fade away is killing me.
