How long?

My dad has terminal bladder cancer. He's detoriated rapidly this week. He isn't getting out of bed,  stopped eating and has now stopped drinking. He's constantly sleeping

How long can he live like this? 

  • So sorry for your loss Kevan . Sending a virtual hug x x

  • Sad to hear that he's gone Kevin but it's good that he wasn't in pain and that you were able to spend alot of time with him. Take care xxx

  • hello 

    firstly so sorry for your loss ... hugs and thoughts are with you 

     

    my dads passed from Bladder and lung cancer, and he said he was hanging on for xmas, on the 3rd December when we were alone i asked why he was hanging on and putting himself through the pain and upset he said he wanted to be here for me and the rest of us, i explained that we would be ok and seeing him in pain was more hurtful than him not making it to xmas, anyways he said really i said dad you go when you are good and ready if thats after xmas good if its before xmas all good... its your choice to go wheny our ready ... that night be passed peacefully in his sleep with a smile on his face, i didnt think he would go so soon because he had drank pint after pint of milk each day .. but im guessing he decided it was time to go
