My husband is 56 he's been diagnosed with dcbl stage 4 he was diagnosed may 27th last year he's had 2 rounds of rchop 21 which was only palliative he's been stable for quite a while but recently has started having more issues he's at present on a syringe driver with morphine madazalam and levopramazine his breathing has worsened and I have to check he's breathing before I go in the bedroom he wants to pass at home I'm terrified he's going to be in pain he hasn't had any pain so far the driver was fitted to help as he's not eating and barely drinking I'm not after advice I guess I just need to rant sometimes I've read up on everything and I think I'm just overthinking everything I can't see him holding on much longer

    I lost my sister last month too breast cancer and it spread to brain,  she was 51. Her family wanted too do her care at home and to die at home . But it didn't work out , it was just too hard for her grown up kids too see. She had  agitation and would often shout out, so was decided that she would get care from hospice , and I have to say it was just amazing.  The nurses (angels as I call them) were fabulous. My sister slept away on 6 th of April at 9.05 pm . As soon as they thought my sister had any pain, even just if she put her hand on her head they would assume she was in pain(because she lost her speech) take care x
