    Hi,

    Welcome to Cancer Chat.

    It sounds as if your poor Dad has really been through the mill. As time goes by you will probably notice that he is sleeping a lot more. He may also feel nauseous from the Oramorph.

    The best thing to hope for is that he passes peacefully and without pain.

    I lost my Mum to metastases from breast cancer some years ago. She survived for 12 years, but deteriorated very quickly after she was diagnosed with secondaries in her bones, brain, liver and lungs.

    I know just how hard you must be finding this.

    You are in my thoughts and in my prayers.

    Please keep in touch and remember, there is always someone here for you whenever you feel like talking.

    Kind regards,

    Jolamine
