My dad has stage 4 lyrgeal cancer. Diagnosed in February, he opted not to have a feeding tube and trach. They will not give him any chemotherapy or radiation so he's just recieving pallative care. He is on 50mg twice a day of Lyrica, morphine patch 10mg and soluble steriods/immunosuppressants 10mg twice a day. He's been on them about 3 weeks now. 

Last week his voice was practically gone and he had a rough few days. For years he has struggled to eat and he has had low energy and fatigue.

Today is voice is so much better and he managed to eat a full meal and dessert which he hasn't done in years. I was.so happy to hear this I cried but then I wondered is he just getting better before he dies? Like the calm before the storm? Or is it that the steriods are helping to shrink the tumour? 

Iwill be asking his palliative care nurse but now it's 11pm on a Saturday night so I'm just wondering.and hoping he is ok and it is a good thing.
