My father was diagnosed with inoperable pancreatic cancer last early this year, he has been having chemo since and had a scan last week (results pending). He’s been having trouble with food for months but in the last week has stopped eating and drinking completely, sleeping all day, etc and he is on a drip now for fluids but no nutrition since last Saturday and no one seems concerned. 

They are in a European country so my mother has a bit of a language barrier and no one has said to her that her is terminal or that this is the end but she has come to that assumption and I think she’s too afraid to ask (also a possibility she has been told but is trying to protect her middle aged kids) I believe the scan results should come back soon but my mum thinks it’s irrelevant at this point and that he’s lost too much weight for him to recover. The consultant have said he’s now to weak for further chemo. 

He isn’t in pain or on pain meds so I assumed he wouldn’t be final stages but it seems I shouldn’t have assumed. I’m going over to see them and in my head I no it’s to say goodbye but I’m struggling with it all to be honest. 

I guess I just want to no if we really are at the end or if this is something that can happen after chemo and he will bounce back
