Hi all, lost my dad a couple of weeks ago age 66 to lung cancer which had spread to brain, liver, lymph nodes. He was diagnosed 15th aug and was gone on 6th sept.
His wish was to be at home and me and my sisters cared for him 24/7 for the last week. He had to go into the hospice 8 hours before he passed due to the terminal agitation which the gp said would of been much worse due to the cancer in the brain, the agitation had gone on for days, he was literally pushing his whole bed across the room, trying to rip out his catheter and pulled his driver out several times. I just feel like we failed him and the pictures will haunt me forever. Just feel like he suffered so much
On top of his driver the nurses were having to give stat doses after about 2 hours, the nurses were amazing.
We had barely taken in that he had cancer and he was gone, all so fast and no symptoms in the lungs at all, we called an ambulance because he kept falling and it was the brain cancer. Now petrified about me and my sisters dying young too of this awful disease. Feel so low. Has anyone else witnessed horrific terminal agitation I'm so sad.
I hope these pictures go from my head
