Hi all
This is my first time of coming over into this forum, I now feel this is probably where I should be and where (if someone is willing) I might get some help. My dad is in the final stage and were told on Thursday night that it is now palliative care only and he probably only has days left. He is not swallowing, having any food or any medication now apart from the drip. IT is now Monday and he is still with us, I know everyone now what torture it is watching someone go through this but I just want someone to tell me how long it takes, what can I expect next. It seems so hard to get any answers from anyone when all we want is the truth. I mean he has no food or anything for over 2 weeks surely the body cant survive much more can it? Sorry if I sound uncaring i just cant face the not knowing.
