My dad has secondary bowel cancer and was given weeks to live.

He got really bad and was put into this hospice, hes been there for just over 2 weeks, he was stable for a while, but in the last few days he looks worst.

Hes still eating and drinking, got no energy, very skinny and a grayish yellow colour.

The hospice are now on about him going into a nursing home, im so confused and on edge with the not knowing, has anyone else been through anything similar?

I’m so sorry about your dad, @Charm1. I’m just giving your thread a gentle bump - I’m sure someone will have thoughts to share. You might also want to read our info on supporting someone at the end of life. It will walk you through what to expect in the coming days and weeks.

Take good care,

Hi @Charm1

So sorry to hear that your going through this, sending hugs of support.

If he’s in palliative care, I would suggest checking what support is available in your area, I know Macmillan were very helpful to me when I needed support after my mom passed.
