Breaking point

My husband had prostrate cancer in 2023 had treatment and PSA now 0.5.  He was so fatigued we thought it was radiotherapy but he developed hypercalcemia and is now extremely ill with non Hodgkin’s lymphoma 

he has weeks to live without chemo which was all set up for yesterday but tested + for covid so chemo cancelled. 

he has lost 3 stone has triple fatigue constant sickness and has had no food or drink for months.  I am so worried he is close to death.
