My father in law has terminal stomach cancer and is suffering now and getting fed up, what are you meant to say when he’s calling his son asking him to pray he dies tonight, cancer is so evil.
i don’t know what to say or do to help either of them
Hi thanks for the reply, he has been in a hospice for almost 3 weeks now and is deteriorating fast. They are controlling his pain as much as possible and has a tube into his stomach to bring up the rubbish rather than vomiting and that’s worked well but now he’s throwing up again and it’s horrific if I’m honest.
I lost my mum to stomach cancer 6 years ago and I hate that we are going through this all again I just feel so lost

I'm really sorry that you lost your mum and you are going through this again. It's incredibly traumatic and will no doubt bring everything about your mums illness back too.
When my dad went into hospice we initially thought he would come home but he didn't come out of the sedation. It's incredibly difficult to have the inevitable prolonged and there is nothing that you can really do go help but be there.
I hope your family has been offered support from hospice too. They should offer support and someone you can speak to. It's a whole other level of stress.
