Apologies for the serious nature however there is more traffic on here.Df has terminal cancer and its everywhere including his spine.Last week he was admitted to hospital for radiotherapy as he was getting tingling which can be spinal cord compression.He also has a deep vein thrombosis and his legs are swollen with edema and leaking badly.
I haven't seen him as I started a new job getting home past visiting.DM rang last night he now has kidney failure and cannot process all the meds in his system for the blood clot.
How long can anyone live with kidney failure? He is refusing dialisysis and is DNR? :(

Glad you went to see him. Take it day by day and as a PP said take any offers of help or support. Flowers

My darling i am so sorry, normal hospital rules don't tend to apply in end of life care. We lost my grandad a couple of months back and they were amazing and said we could do whatever we wanted. We came and went as we pleased, played his favourite music for him to listen to, even gave him some of his favourite ale on a sponge.. you do what you need to do. Thinking of you Flowers xxx
