My father is in his last stages of lung cancer. We were advised an average of 6 weeks left, 4 weeks ago. He has developed a chest infection with green phlegm, his hands are pure white, he is very cold, he had a suspected small stroke 3 weeks ago but is still able for slow movement between rooms. His breathlessness is bad but not horrendous. He had fluid removed a couple of months ago and nobody knows if it is back. The palliative nurses don't think the end is imminent and we are discussing potential need for hospice due to his wife's inability to cope. With these symptoms it feels like the end is very near and yet nowhere near. Anyone else experienced these symptoms and could give an idea of what could happen next? 
 

so sorry for everyone.
