Hi
my dad is 93 and is currently not able to eat or drink
and constantly sick.
this weekend he was admitted to hospital where they put loads of drips on him for what he was lacking such as glucose and potassium.They also tried to get him to have the camera down his throat test which he declined so gave him a scan.
he then discharged himself as he wanted to come home
id promised him I'd never leave him in hospital to die and I'd bring him home within 3-5 days and look after him.
The scan shows a blockage which my Dr has said he's almost certain it's cancer and don't think it's worth putting him through anything else and he'd contact palliative care to call at the home.
He is very weak but still has full sound of mind and this
is is not a good thing for us as he is very argumentative today recalling back in the old days and would say we were lying when we joined his conversation. ( Although tired he pushes himself)
he suffering so much and telling us he feels so ill.
he has lost over 3 stone in weight in 6 weeks
any advice what to look out for with him
