Hello, 

My dad was diagnosed with cancer in March 2021, it was confirmed it was in his stomach,lungs and two tumours in his neck. After 3 sessions of chemotherapy they discovered tumours at the base of his skull and told us Chemo would no longer work, he was offered radiotherapy but decided he didn't feel fit enough so has just been receiving end of life care at home. 
 

After talking to the Macmillan nurse last week she told me my dad won't pass the "normal way" that we should prepare for 3 things. 
 

1. He may become paralysed from the neck down 

2. If the tumour affects a vessel he could bleed out

3. Internal bleed

she advised all will be quick and not to phone an ambulance just to make sure he's comfortable. I am my dads only support other than lunch time nurses. I just want to know if anyone has had this before and what signs of any of the three options there may be? My dad has chosen not to be told his diagnosis so he isn't aware of any of this but I am constantly panicking something is going to happen, he's refused the hospital and the dr said without his consent they can't make him which is okay as I don't mind caring for him I just want to be prepared.
