HI there, my FIL has stomach cancer, diagnosed after a stroke in September. His oncologist said surgery not suitable. He moved to ours to recover and his new oncologist has offered surgery to hopefully get rid of the cancer.
Since this offer we think he has developed dementia particularly lewy body. Memory quite good but often confused and doesn't do well with tasks, dates, days etc. Sleeping all day. Seeing people that aren't there. Can smell the soup I am cooking during the night!? And hears voices.
It's very up and down and if you met him briefly you wouldn't know.
We were delighted at 1st with the surgery offer but now not so sure.
He probably won't be able to live alone again.
This forum is great. We wish everyone else well
