Hi it is so odd to write these words but my dad died of lung and bone cancer last night in a nursing home, quietly, with no fuss , as he would have wanted I think. His nurse has gone to get his evening meds then came back and he had passed. Although he was very poorly with a compressed spine meaning he was effectively paralysed, he didn't seem ill enough to die. He had a cough since Monday and was struggling to cough up phlegm and was very tired. I just need to know what exactly would have killed him. I dint want to push my mum too hard as she doesn't really know.
