We found out on July 8th that my 73 year old father has sclc stage 4. He has opted not to have any further testing or treatment. I the last four weeks he has had to be put on oxygen (10 liter flow and still difficult time breathing), has adema in both legs ( must use walker to walk), cant eat, constant nausa, coughs constantly, has had 2 seizures that I am aware of and in constant pain. Doctor encouraged us to get Hospice involved, which we have done and they are doing a wonderful job, god love each and everyone of them. How can a person go from being active and enjoying life to being so sick in such a short time? This is so painful to watch him withering away before our very eyes. Doctor tells us that we are looking at 6 to 12 months, there is no way that dad can go on that long, not like this. Has anyone been in this circumstance, if so please share advice, or thoughts with me. I am so scared, and worried about him.
