Hi
I don't even know what I'm asking or why but I'm just so in shock . Our beloved 94 year old always healthy and bright as a button grandpa had the worst news last week , what we thought was an infection is an aggressive and fast growing head and neck cancer , there is absolutely nothing that can be done only palliative care .
I guess it's due to his age and it's already spread so far .
awaiting visits now from the palliative care nurses and district nurses to dress the tumour. They can't even give us an idea of how long he has. They just said it's hard to say .
The hospital don't even need / want to see him again ...unless he's in need of admission , at the moment he's at home with myself , brother and mum caring for his needs .
he is stubborn as a mule in regards to accepting help .
it's all suck a shock and so very sad , how fast is he going to decline given that he's struggling to eat , it's already spread and his age ?
xx
