Hi all,

I am new to this forum but I am seeking help. My father in law was diagnosed 12 months ago with esophageal cancer which was in his stomach also. He had two rounds of unsuccessful chemo and has since ceased all treatment. 

The cancer has since spread to his liver and further into his stomach. He has over the last few days become completely jaundiced and this is a major cause of concern when coupled with his swelling in his feet. To make things harder he is refusing help from any one other than his GP. Can you advise if we should be preparing for the end. He is sleeping more frequently and seems to be getting more and more confused. I am concerned that as he has no one visiting him daily we will not fully be aware of any deterioration.

Thank you for your help.
