Df has pancreatic cancer which has spread. He doesn’t want chemo and mum died mid December.
He is still living at home on own and has been
Coming to our house a few days per week. He
Started getting investigated last March, has lost over 4 stone (he had weight to lose but says he’s not feeling like eating much). How do I know when things will be near the end? Spoke to him tonight and said he felt more lethargic than normal. His biggest issue seems
To be stomach cramps for which he is having morphine at night. Last biopsy the tumour wasn’t around any major vessels
Or blocking bile duct. Last ct scan showed significant changes in organ tumours and dr said it was aggressive. His diagnosis was 13 dec 2021 and now we’re in February nearly. It’s just all so uncertain as he is still undependent but he doesn’t want to see my kids after he starts getting really ill as he doesn’t want to scare them. And that is another question- should I tell my kids. They are 9, 11 and 13. They have experienced anxiety about death and anything happening to us.

Afternoon, OP. We're so sorry to hear about your DF, and also for the loss of your mum. Flowers

Just thought we'd bump this in case someone were around today who might be able to offer advice.
