So, I've posted on this forum before. My dad was diagnosed with esophageal cancer about 18 mths ago and at first it was thought to be curable. He had chemo and a major operation but just before Xmas we were told it had come back and wasn't treatable. Chemo to keep it in check wasn't successful and he stopped all treatment in June. So in the past few days he's really gone down hill, I thought it was just one of his dips and he'd pick up again. It isn't a dip and the nurse is trying to get him into a hospice to sort his pain relief, she says it'll be for 3 days but I think we both suspect it'll be for good. And I'm not ready, I'm not ready for this. For my dad to die, he looks so poorly now, and I knew he'd die of this but I'm scared. I can't help him. What happens at a hospice? Do I stay or leave? Will he be in a single room?
