My husband has advanced colon cancer spread to his liver. His condition is very serious. He is admitted in the hospital with jaundice and ascitis i.e fluid in his legs and abdomen. He cannot walk or sit up or even turn around without help. He is going to be tubefed from now. His bilirubin levels are 21 and is constantly on pain medication. Docs say he has at the most one week.Please tell me what to expect so that I can steel myself for the sake of my kids. how will he go? He is mostly sedated now.
The most important thing now is to be with him. It is very hard to see him like this and it is heart wrenching but you need to stay strong. Have you considered Hospice? It is a wonderful program and they will help to manage his pain and they will help you to get through this emotionally. Inpatient Hospice would be your best choice. Sedation is a good thing at this point. If he already has the jaundice and ascites things are slowly shutting down. Talk to the social worker at the hospital and take things from there. The most important things right now are comfort and LOVE. I wish I could make it all better. I watched my Dad die this way. No one should have to go through this. I will say a prayer for you and your family. God Bless!
