Thought I would share my story as I read so many posts on this site over the last few months. My wonderful dad died over the Christmas from prostate cancer spread to , bladder/ liver/ lungs / lymph / bones ....( and many other places :-( ) he had been battling prostate cancer for 15 years, the last 3 years were very hard .... clinical trials / chemo/ surgery and other complications . 9 weeks ago we found out about the terminal diagnosis and the extent of the spread. He was such a strong man & his positive mind was unwaivering .... he hoped he'd get longer but it was not to be. End of life symptoms ( last 3 weeks ) were extreme fatigue : I mean sleeping every 30 minutes , no appetite ( energy smoothies) and severe depression .... to see the most positive decline like this was heartbreaking .... he took a bad turn over Christmas . He had a ruptured bowel & died within 5 days. He was on morphine pump and was on it for 4 days - ge died at home with his whole family around him, finally at peace ..... I just hope this helps people with questions - especially about end of life. Seeing my dad suffer was unbearable but we never really believed he would die as he had always been so strong all his life. I'm still in shock, it came quick in the end. Much love to all going through this awful painful time x
